I asked something similar yesterday but I don't think I worded it correctly.
I have an accessoryPanel in my printPanel that asks to print All Records or Needed Records (needed is defined in the data). Unfortunately, in order to raise the print dialogue you have to make an NSPrintOperation and supply it the view before it even raises the dialogue. How do I know what to put in the view if the user hasn't selected the data yet?
In orther words, is there a way to raise the dialogue, then if the user clicks Print or Preview, then create the view and pass it to the print operation and run it?

I think you're just supposed to customize the view you have. Otherwise I guess you could try subclassing.

The view is subclassed - but that doesn't allow me to tell the print dialogue to change it between clicking print and actually printing.

Sorry, wasn't clear. I didn't mean subclassing the view -- I meant subclassing the print panel and/or print operation.

Ah, sorry, I see what you meant now. I actually didn't have to go that far. I basically made a tiny view and passed it to the printOp. When the printOp asked for the page range, I initialized my data to be printed (based on the values in my accessory panel) and expanded the view to accomodate the new data.
