DISCUSSION

The Printing Manager function PrGeneral is used by applications to achieve the highest possible resolution on the current printer, verify page orientation, and allow enhanced draft-quality printing. The PMGeneral function is intended as an interim replacement for PrGeneral.

See "Supported PrGeneral Opcodes" in this document for information about opcode support by the Carbon Printing Manager.

CARBON PORTING NOTES

 The PMGeneral function is an interim replacement for the Printing Manager function PrGeneral.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Please limit your use of PMGeneral. Like its Printing Manager correlate, PrGeneral, this function is not supported by all printer drivers, and is not likely to be supported in future versions of the Mac OS.

Apple intends to retire this call in the near future, at which point PMGeneral will return a result code of kNotImplemented for all opcodes. The Carbon Printing Manager supplies accessor functions for all of the functionality that previously required PrGeneral.
