The printing solution for IDLE on OSX is lacking a page setup dialog, or even a print dialog. This means output will also be sent to the default printer. If there is no default printer (which means the user hasn't defined a printer at all) the user will get a confusing message (lpr failed). BTW. the message is clear for technical users, but not for mac users that aren't unix saffy. It would be nice if IDLE could interface with the Carbon/Cocoa print system using a real print dialog. That way users can select another than the default printer, change page settings and can even print to PDF. I've filed this as a low-priority issue for 2.6 because there's no way this will get into 2.5 and it likey non-trivial as well. BTW. this might be a feature-request rather than a bug. |

Logged In: YES user_id=149084 It's not just an OSX problem. Printing in IDLE is very rudimentary at this point. Making this an RFE. |

This is a problem on all platforms. We have recently been discussing possible solutions for Windows platforms, but until now haven't found a solution that doesn't require the 'win32' package. The Unix/Linux platforms could probably be addressed without special modules/packages... |
