Overview

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.
