# handlePrint(_:)

Handles the Print AppleScript command by attempting to print the document.

```
func handlePrint(_ command: NSScriptCommand) -> Any?
```

## Parameters

`command`

An AppleScript command object.

## Discussion

Extracts Print command arguments from the `command` object and uses them to determine how to print the document—specifically, any print settings and whether to show the Print dialog. A Print AppleScript command may specify more than one document to print. If so, a message is sent to each document.
