UIPrintInteractionController borderless printing

Question

I am working on the iPhone app using print image concept using UIPrintInteractionController. I have stuck at one point i.e. border, whenever I tried to print any image using printer it always show border on all sides which is not required. Image should use whole the paper size, as I am giving the image size same as paper width and height, but still it is showing border.

I didn't find any kind of method to remove the border or make the paper content border less. See iPhone image

You can see in the attached image , In this I am trying to print the image from Mac system in which it is giving option for border and border less.

I think it should be there in the UIPrintInteractionController framework, but didn't find anyone.

Please help me, if someone has experienced regarding this.

Thanks in advance. Your help will be appreciated

Answer 1

If you want to eliminate any borders you could quickly achieve that by passing a photo outputType to a printInfo object:

let printController = UIPrintInteractionController.shared
printController.printingItem = someImage
printController.showsPaperSelectionForLoadedPapers = true

let printInfo             = UIPrintInfo.printInfo()
printInfo.outputType      = .photo
printController.printInfo = printInfo

Now, if you want greater control over the final rendering, you could explore Apple's sample project regarding UIPrintInteractionController

Objective-C version

UIPrintInteractionController *printController = [UIPrintInteractionController sharedPrintController];
printController.printingItem = someImage;
controller.showsPaperSelectionForLoadedPapers=YES;

UIPrintInfo *printInfo = [UIPrintInfo printInfo];
printInfo.outputType = UIPrintInfoOutputPhoto;
printController.printInfo = printInfo;
