Is a Bounty needed to get printing working on MacOS?Or file a Bug Report.
I am using 2.0.8 Release Build 2020-04-15. Is printing supposed to work in this release?BTW, it's better to use the trunk version so you can get the fixes directly. Otherwise you might need to wait a long time for each fix to reach a release version of Lazarus.
What's the best way to install Trunk version for a newbie? Also, I see reference to a Fixes_2_0 that can be installed with fpcupdeluxe.fpcupdeluxe would be the easiest way.
OK, will try to install Trunk and 2.0.8 side by side and use fpcupdeluxe for Trunk. Any gotchas I need to be aware of if following the documentation? Thanks!Not that I know of. I don't use fpcupdeluxe myself because I have my own Windows and Linux script to install it.
Just tried the https://wiki.freepascal.org/Using_the_printer example and Printer unit error'd out and crashed at line 702. What is status of printing on MacOS 10.15.5?do you've printer4lazarus used by the project? (see attachments)
According to Status of features on each LCL Interface (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Roadmap#Status_of_features_on_each_LCL_Interface Status_of_features_on_each_LCL_Interfacel) printing is not implemented in Cocoa and only partially implemented in Carbon.
