NAME
Prima::PrintDialog - standard printer setup dialog
DESCRIPTION
Provides a standard dialog that allows the user to select a printer
and its options. The toolkit does not provide the in-depth management
of the printer options; this can only be accessed by executing a printer-specific
setup window, called by "Prima::Printer::setup_dialog". The class invokes
this method when the user presses 'Properties' button. Otherwise, the class
provides only selection of a printer from the printer list.
When the dialog finished successfully, the selected printer is set as the current
by writing to "Prima::Printer::printer" property. This technique allows direct use of
the user-selected printer and its properties without prior knowledge of the
selection process.
SYNOPSIS
use Prima::PrintDialog;
$dlg = Prima::PrintSetupDialog-> create;

my $p = $::application-> get_printer;
if ( $p-> begin_doc ) {
$p-> text_out( 'Hello world', 10, 10);
$p-> end_doc;
}
}
$dlg-> destroy;
