Session Printing and Saving

.. function:: print_session

    Syntax:
        ``h.print_session(useprinter, "name")``

        ``h.print_session(useprinter, "name", useselected)``

        ``h.print_session()``

    Description:
        Print a postscript file consisting of certain windows on the screen.

        If useprinter==1 postscript is piped to the filter given by "name"
        which should be able to deal with standard input (UNIX). If useprinter==0
        the postscript is saved in the file specified by "name".

        If there is a third arg equal to 1 then the printed windows are those
        selected and arranged on the paper icon of the :ref:`PWM` and calling this function
        is equivalent to pressing the :ref:`PWM_Print` button. Otherwise all
        printable windows are printed in landscape mode with a size such that
        the screen fits on the paper.

        If there are no arguments then all the windows are printed in way that
        works for mac, mswin, and unix.

.. function:: save_session

    Syntax:
        ``h.save_session("filename")``

        ``h.save_session("filename", "header")``

    Description:
        Save all the (saveable) windows on the screen to filename.
        This is equivalent to pressing the :ref:`Session_SaveAll` button
        on the :ref:`pwm`.
        If the header argument exists, it is copied to the beginning of
        the file.
