Hi,
thanks for your comments!
Would you recommend writing a separate Service for printing or just some
functions that CWS can call directly? If we use a separate Service, how do we
notify the user of errors (e.g. if he wants to print too many pages). If we
call functions directly, will that block other connections?
Best,
Fabian
