# shouldChangePrintInfo(_:)

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the document allows changes to the default printing information.

## Declaration

```swift
func shouldChangePrintInfo(_ newPrintInfo: NSPrintInfo) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `newPrintInfo`: The NSPrintInfo object that is the result of the user approving the page layout panel presented by doc://com.apple.appkit/documentation/AppKit/NSDocument/runPageLayout(_:).

## Return Value

Return Value true by default; subclasses can override this method to return false.

## Discussion

Discussion This method is invoked by the runPageLayout(_:) method, which sets a new NSPrintInfoobject for the document only if this method returns true.
