Print paper size and content inset

Question

I\'m using following code to print HTML content containing text and images.

if (![UIPrintInteractionController isPrintingAvailable]) {
    UIAlertView *alert         


        

Answer 1

1. To specifically select A4 paper size, I implemented the printInteractionController:choosePaper: method of the <UIPrintInteractionControllerDelegate> protocol, and returned an A4 paper size if supported by the printer (test with [UIPrintPaper bestPaperForPageSize:withPapersFromArray:]. Note that portrait/landscape orientation is not set here, but by the UIPrintInfo property orientation.

2. The property htmlFormatter.contentInsets only sets the inset for the content as a whole, before it's been split across pages by the page renderer. I was able to set a 1cm per-page margin by adding blank headers and footers via a UIPrintPageRenderer, and then adding a 1cm margin to the left and right of the HTML print formatter:

   UIPrintPageRenderer *renderer = [[UIPrintPageRenderer alloc] init];
   renderer.headerHeight = 30.0f;
   renderer.footerHeight = 30.0f;
   pic.printPageRenderer = renderer;
   [renderer release];
   
   UIMarkupTextPrintFormatter *htmlFormatter = [[UIMarkupTextPrintFormatter alloc] initWithMarkupText: htmlString];
   htmlFormatter.startPage = 0;
   htmlFormatter.contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0f, 30.0f, 0.0f, 30.0f);
   [renderer addPrintFormatter: htmlFormatter startingAtPageAtIndex: 0];
   [htmlFormatter release];
   

3. Can't help with this one sorry.
