Marc,
Take a look at how iCal handles printing. This might be a useful
model if you want to segregate your application-specific settings
from the general print settings.

So, I want my application to let users customise how they print the

So, after reading through the various printing docs, I thought I'd
setAccessoryPanel on the NSPageLayout and the NSPrintPanel.
Except that when you bring up either dialog, the "custom
application panel"
is so buried, that I, as a full time mac user for over 18 months,
didn't
even know they EXISTED, let alone would have ever discovered them.
So, my question would be: is there a way to bring up these dialogs
with the
accessory panel shown by default? or should i be creating my own page
layout dialog? that doesn't sound like too much fun, since the
current one
seems to manage a lot of page settings and things like that which I
would
rather not implement fully if I could avoid it.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
thanks,
marc.
