Please help in order to resolve the printing issue that i am facing while coding in objective c.
I want to print any file like (*.pages,*.numbers,*.keynote)
but i am not able to print these files using PMPrinterPrintWithFile function of objective c
I am able to print other files like *.txt,*.jpeg,*.png, *.pdf.
when I try to print iwork document like *.pages file with PMPrinterPRintWithFile, it returns a status as 1028
when I am printing other files like *.pdf,*.txt it is printed easily with status 0
and one more point I am not able to find out the MimeType of files like *.pages,*.number,*.keynote
the MIMETYPE object gets NULL value when i fetch it using the below code.
The Code I am using :
#import "Cocoa/Cocoa.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
NSPrintInfo *printInfo = [[NSPrintInfo alloc] init];
PMPrintSession myPrintSession= (PMPrintSession)[printInfo PMPrintSession];
PMPrintSettings printSetting= (PMPrintSettings)[printInfo PMPrintSettings];
PMPageFormat pageFormat=(PMPageFormat)[printInfo PMPageFormat];
OSStatus err = PMCreateSession(&myPrintSession);
OSStatus status;
CFURLRef fileURL =(CFURLRef) [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"filename example *.*"];
NSString* filePath=@"filename ex *.*";
NSString* FullPath=[filePath stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
NSURL * url= [NSURL fileURLWithPath:FullPath];
NSURLRequest* fileUrlRequest = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
NSError* error = nil;
NSURLResponse* response = nil;
NSData* fileData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:fileUrlRequest
returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString * MIMETYPE= [response MIMEType];
[fileUrlRequest release];
NSLog(@"MIMETYPE %@",MIMETYPE);
PMPrinter thisPrinter= "printername";
status = PMPrinterGetMimeTypes(thisPrinter, printSetting,&mimeTypes);
if(status==noErr)
{
status= PMPrinterPrintWithFile(thisPrinter, printSetting, pageFormat,
(CFStringRef)MIMETYPE, fileURL);
NSLog(@" value :%@",MIMETYPE);
NSLog(@"%i",status);
NSLog(@"=======Printer %@=======", PMPrinterGetName( thisPrinter) );
}
[printInfo release];
return 0;
return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv);
}
