Printing contents of the active Desktop window


  • Subject: Printing contents of the active Desktop window

I am attempting to write a program (actually, a service) that will allow the user to print the contents of the currently active Desktop window.

The only problem I'm having is that I do not know how I can get a path to the active desktop window. My program accepts a path to a directory and then renders its expanded contents to an outlineview which I then print.

I've been searching Google and this list for a week and I have yet to find any good leads. Anybody have an idea of where I can look for this information?
As an aside, I've already considered drag & drop scenarios, but my ideal soultion would be for the user to hit command-P from the Desktop without the need for any extra application windows to be present.

Thanks in advance for any help!
And thanks to everybody for creating the best Cocoa resource on the net!

- Steve
