Detailed Description

A Printer object represents a printer.

You only need to deal directly with printers if you use the non-portable PrintUnixDialog API.

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

Since gtkmm 2.10:

virtual Gtk::Printer::~Printer ( ) [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

bool Gtk::Printer::accepts_pdf ( ) const

Returns whether the printer accepts input in PDF format.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Returns:
true if printer accepts PDF.
bool Gtk::Printer::accepts_ps ( ) const

Returns whether the printer accepts input in PostScript format.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Returns:
true if printer accepts PostScript.
bool Gtk::Printer::equal ( const Glib::RefPtr< Printer >&  other) const
PrintCapabilities Gtk::Printer::get_capabilities ( ) const

Returns the printer's capabilities.

This is useful when you're using Gtk::PrintUnixDialog's manual-capabilities setting and need to know which settings the printer can handle and which you must handle yourself.

This will return 0 unless the printer's details are available, see has_details() and request_details().

Since gtkmm 2.12:
Returns:
The printer's capabilities.
Glib::RefPtr<PageSetup> Gtk::Printer::get_default_page_size ( ) const

Returns default page size of printer.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
A newly allocated Gtk::PageSetup with default page size of the printer.
Glib::ustring Gtk::Printer::get_description ( ) const

Gets the description of the printer.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Returns:
The description of printer.
bool Gtk::Printer::get_hard_margins ( double &  top,
double &  bottom,
double &  left,
double &  right 
) const

Retrieve the hard margins of printer, i.e. the margins that define the area at the borders of the paper that the printer cannot print to.

Note:
This will not succeed unless the printer's details are available, see has_details() and request_details().
Since gtkmm 2.20:
Parameters:
topA location to store the top margin in.
bottomA location to store the bottom margin in.
leftA location to store the left margin in.
rightA location to store the right margin in.
Returns:
true iff the hard margins were retrieved.
Glib::ustring Gtk::Printer::get_icon_name ( ) const

Gets the name of the icon to use for the printer.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Returns:
The icon name for printer.
int Gtk::Printer::get_job_count ( ) const

Gets the number of jobs currently queued on the printer.
