Printing API

[veldfolds]

We need a printing API in MAUI

[bijington]

Do you have any thoughts or proposals on how it should look or work?

First thanks for getting back to me, perhaps more like the API'S in the 'Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel' namespace.
A simple example:

// Gets a list of printers & returns null if no printer is attached
var printers = await Printing.Default.GetPrinters();

// Check if printing is supported in the attached device
Printer printer = printers.First();

// Check if printer is online and can print
bool isPrintingSupported = Printing.Default.IsPrintingSupported(printer);

// print a document
bool printResult = Printing.Print(myFile);
