# showsPrintPanel

A Boolean value that determines whether the print operation displays a print panel.

## Declaration

```swift
var showsPrintPanel: Bool { get set }
```

## Parameters

- `flag`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if you want to display a print panel; otherwise, doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false.

## Discussion

Discussion This method does not affect the display of a progress panel; that operation is controlled by the showsProgressPanel method. Operations that generate EPS or PDF data do no display a progress panel, regardless of the value in the flag parameter.
