The printing tools have to make it as quick and easy as possible to:
Displays the list of installed printers, including any PDF printer drivers.
Rhino PDF is Rhino's own PDF printer.
Paper sizes supported by the printer and paper orientation.
Landscape
PortraitThe DPI ("dots" per inch) setting.
Windows printer driver settings.
Number of copies.
Prints to a file.
Defines the printing method.
Vector OutputPrints lines, curves, and fill areas.
By default, Rhino prints everything it can using vectors.
Raster OutputPrints a bitmap image.
Defines how color is printed.
Print colorUses the layer or property Print Color setting to print point objects, curves, annotations, and wireframes, etc. Mesh faces and surfaces are printed with display colors.
Display colorPrint objects with the same wireframe color that displays in viewports.

View listList of viewport names and layout pages.
When a layout page is selected, the printer paper size changes to use the layout page size.

WindowPrints a selected window area.
Select a new print area. The window grips can be manipulated after the window is drawn.
Multiple layoutsPrints multiple layout pages. Enter a comma-separated list of page numbers or page ranges. For example: 1,2,4-8.
Multiple page prints are sent out as a single print job so printing to PDF should result in a single PDF file with multiple pages.
All layoutsPrints all layout pages.
When printing multiple layouts to image file, multiple image files will be created all with an ascending index suffix appended to the file name.
Displays current display magnification as percentage. Select scale from the list or set the scale in paper units=model units.
Sets the units used on the printed page and the equivalent units used in the model.
