[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Disable Print Style Dialog Revisited/Explained

ericc@d.cs.okstate.edu (Eric Cloninger) (04/30/91)

First off, thanks to those who replied to my queries about disabling the
print style dialog items.  Every reply sent was positive in content, but
each letter also said (paraphrased) "You _r_e_a_l_l_y_ don't want to do
that".  

Now, for a short explanation: we had a deadline (read: the end justifies
the means).  I needed to disable the potentially destructive things so 
the client wouldn't get their fingers burnt.  In short time the code will 
be designed to take device independence into account.  For now, basic 
printing on ImageWriter and LaserWriter are sufficient.

I haven't taken my case to the net too often, but when I do, the result is
always positive.  Kinda like dealing with the people at DayTimer or Farney's 
Pens (both highly recommended, BTW).

Again, Thanks

Eric
