iphone - Objective-C code for AirPrint

Question

How can make a IBAction method for printing a UITextView with AirPrint in objective-c?

Answer 1

Check whether printing is available:

if ([UIPrintInteractionController isPrintingAvailable])
{
    // Available
} else {
    // Not Available
}

Print after button click:

-(IBAction) buttonClicked: (id) sender;
{
    NSMutableString *printBody = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@, %@",self.encoded.text, self.decoded.text];
    [printBody appendFormat:@"



Printed From *myapp*"];

     UIPrintInteractionController *pic = [UIPrintInteractionController sharedPrintController];
     pic.delegate = self;

     UIPrintInfo *printInfo = [UIPrintInfo printInfo];
     printInfo.outputType = UIPrintInfoOutputGeneral;
     printInfo.jobName = self.titleLabel.text;
     pic.printInfo = printInfo;

     UISimpleTextPrintFormatter *textFormatter = [[UISimpleTextPrintFormatter alloc] initWithText:printBody];
     textFormatter.startPage = 0;
     textFormatter.contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(72.0, 72.0, 72.0, 72.0); // 1 inch margins
     textFormatter.maximumContentWidth = 6 * 72.0;
     pic.printFormatter = textFormatter;
     [textFormatter release];
     pic.showsPageRange = YES;

     void (^completionHandler)(UIPrintInteractionController *, BOOL, NSError *) =
     ^(UIPrintInteractionController *printController, BOOL completed, NSError *error) {
     if (!completed && error) {
     NSLog(@"Printing could not complete because of error: %@", error);
     }
     };

    [pic presentFromBarButtonItem:self.rightButton animated:YES completionHandler:completionHandler];

}
