Printing? (i.e. to a printer?)

Hey, I'm working in a project where we need to be able to screengrab and print the result from within the executable. Does Unity support printing intrinsically? Do I need to use Unity to call the OS to bring up some print dialog?

I honestly have never tried anything like this before, and don't know where to start. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Well, in my web designs I simply wrap an image or text link with this to cause either a Mac or PC system to print the page (using the styles I've defined in a print-specific CSS file) ...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. [url="#"]text link or graphic here[/url]
3.  

So the Javascript function "window.print()" is what you need, but I don't know if that's supported in Unity.

 

Printing from the web player doesn't work -- you just get blankness, unfortunately. I bug reported it a while ago.

You're pretty out of luck with regards to printing from a standalone, too. It'd be hard. Your best bet would be to have your app capture a screenshot and have that screenshot opened in some program that supports printing.
