114 GtkPrinter

Represents a printer

114.1 Overview

A <gtk-printer> object represents a printer. You only need to deal directly with printers if you use the non-portable <gtk-print-unix-dialog> API.

A <gtk-printer> allows to get status information about the printer, such as its description, its location, the number of queued jobs, etc. Most importantly, a <gtk-printer> object can be used to create a <gtk-print-job> object, which lets you print to the printer.

Printing support was added in GTK+ 2.10.
