Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be printing text and images preview using popup print dialog class in gui desktop app in python. All the full source code of the application is given below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to install the below library using the pip command as shown below
pip install wxpython
After installing this library you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
