setting deafult Printer details instead of using UIPrintInteractionController

Question

Is there a way by which we can set default printer and its default size instead of using uiprintInterctionController ?

Answer 1

There's no easy way to get around the UIPrintInteractionController, since it's "the central class for printing in iOS" (according to the first paragraph or two of the documentation).

Looking through that documentation, I did find a handy method called:

- printToPrinter:completionHandler:

which allows you to print directly to the printer (presumably a previously selected printer from UIPrintInteractionController) without bringing up an interactive user interface. It still brings up a printing progress dialog, though.
