Platform Independent Printing Solutions for C++

[laalitseth]

Hi all,

I am looking for some third party or built in support for C++ to provide
efficient and reliable printing solution.

Does anybody have any experience in Printing in C++ for Platform
Independent solutions ie it works on Linux, HPUX, Windows etc.

Thanks

There's no such thing as independent solution for printing on POSIX/win platforms, the two are seperate in how the printerport is accessed, in POSIX you just open it as a file and write whatever you have to it, under windows you need to address the systems spool area in order to place your job in current queue.
you might wanna look at this thread

Thanks for replying.

Don't we have any wrapper class in C++ or template class which can work for major paltforms? Any opensource third part lib or so.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of.
Perhaps google will prove me wrong, but as far as I know, theres no such thing.
