Re: Printing Postscript Data

[Chad Hardin]

Yikes, that's a good one.  Let's see.  The NSGraphicsContext your 
NSView will get will come from the NSPrintOperation.....
But you don't want anything to do with that.

Maybe you can make a NSGraphicsContext category?  Add a method that 
will take this PS code and it will forward it on for you?  I don't 
know, just late night ideas....
