Hi Guys!

I would like to know how to redefine printer functions because I am making a custom printer and I want to overwrite the printer functions to support the custom printer

Thanks!

The same way you would overwrite any functions. Make a variable pointing to the old function, and call that in your custom function.

Example:


-- API has the function foo
local native_API_foo = API.foo
API.foo = function (...)
  <CODE>
  native_API_foo(...)
end
