Where is the Chooser?
You use Print Center to select and set up printers
(rather than the Chooser). Mac OS X does not have
desktop printers; you can select a printer right in
the Print dialog.
Printing a Finder window
If you want to print a Finder window or the
desktop, first set it up the way you want. Use Grab
to take a screen shot of the window, then print the
screen shot.
