multicolor

Arguments: printer

Returns the value of the multicolor property of printer. This property tells whether the printer is in multicolor mode rather than monochrome mode (black and white only). This property will always be nil if the printer is not a color printer, even if the :multicolor initarg to open-stream was specified as true when creating the printer stream.

An application may check the value of this property to determine whether it may print colors on the printer that the user has selected (along with various printer options) in the print job dialog that appears by default when opening a printer stream.

This property may be specified with the :multicolor initarg to open-stream when creating a printer stream, though a particular printer driver may or may not pay any attention to the value. multicolor is a property of the printer class.

Note: this generic function is not setf'able.
