How to print a paper in Corona

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I am doing a windows program where the user has to enter some inputs then presses a button then a paper gets printed using the user’s printer, is that achievable in corona ? if yes then how ? and if no then how to do it using lua ?

#2

I am unaware of any tools that support printing on Window’s desktop using Corona.

Yea I just learned that it probably can’t be done using lua only, can I use C++ or Java alongside lua in my windows program in corona ?

#4

You can add native Windows features using Visual Studio to build a plugin/dll file. We don’t have any direct instructions for this, but you can look at this project:

And look in the win32 example for how to make a Windows-based plugin.
