I want to print programatically. So I do [NSPrintOperation

But how do I tell the NSPrintOperation about the destination (fax,
printer, file, etc.)? It seems always to print to the default
printer, which is not what I want.
This is what I do do print something without displaying the Print
panel:
- (void)markPageViewsDirtyForPrinting
{
NSEnumerator *viewEnum;
NSView *subView;
// Force the subviews to redisplay for printing
viewEnum = [[[scrollView documentView] subviews]
objectEnumerator];
while ((subView = [viewEnum nextObject]))
[subView setNeedsDisplay: YES];
[[scrollView documentView] setNeedsDisplay: YES];
}
- (BOOL)writeToFile:(NSString *)aPath
{
BOOL success = YES;
NSPrintInfo *tempPrintInfo;
NSPrintOperation *op;
tempPrintInfo = [[[self printInfo] copyWithZone: [self zone]]
autorelease];
[tempPrintInfo setJobDisposition: NSPrintSaveJob];
[[tempPrintInfo dictionary] setObject: aPath
forKey: NSPrintSavePath];
[[tempPrintInfo dictionary] setObject: [NSNumber
numberWithBool: YES]
forKey: NSPrintAllPages];
op = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView: [scrollView
documentView]
printInfo: tempPrintInfo];
[op setShowPanels: NO];
[self markPageViewsDirtyForPrinting];
success = [op runOperation];
[self setDocumentEdited: NO];
return success;
}

Many thanks for this! I did spend hours looking in the wrong direction.
Two follow-up questions:
1. is there a way to print to an NSData? (Yes, one can print to some
temp file, then read this into an NSData - but this looks rather
inefficient).
2. The documentation for setJobDisposition: says: "NSPrintFaxJob is
deprecated". So: what to use instead? And - if I decide to use a
deprecated function - how to set the fax number?
Kind regards
Gerriet.
