func PMCreatePrintSettings(_ printSettings: UnsafeMutablePointer<PMPrintSettings?>) -> OSStatus
```

## Parameters

- `printSettings`: A pointer to your doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/pmprintsettings variable. On return, the variable refers to a new print settings object. You are responsible for releasing the print settings object with the function doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/1461402-pmrelease.

## Return Value

Return Value A result code. See Result Codes.

## Discussion

Discussion This function allocates memory for a new print settings object in your application’s memory space and sets its reference count to 1. The new print settings object is empty and unusable until you call PMSessionDefaultPrintSettings(_:_:) or PMCopyPrintSettings(_:_:).
