## Detailed Description

A PrintJob object represents a job that is sent to a printer.

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

Use get_surface() to obtain the cairo surface onto which the pages must be drawn. Use send() to send the finished job to the printer.If you don't use cairo then PrintJob also supports printing of manually generated postscript, via set_source_file().

void Gtk::PrintJob::send | ( | const SlotPrintJobComplete& | slot | ) |

Sends the print job off to the printer.

Parameters

  slot | A function to call when the job completes or an error occurs.

void Gtk::PrintJob::set_source_file | ( | const std::string & | filename | ) |

Make the Gtk::PrintJob send an existing document to the printing system.

The file can be in any format understood by the platforms printing system (typically PostScript, but on many platforms PDF may work too). See Gtk::Printer::accepts_pdf() and Gtk::Printer::accepts_ps().

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters

  filename | The file to be printed.

Returns
  `false` if an error occurred.

void Gtk::PrintJob::set_track_print_status | ( | bool | track_status = `true` | ) |

If track_status is `true`, the print job will try to continue report on the status of the print job in the printer queues and printer.

This can allow your application to show things like "out of paper" issues, and when the print job actually reaches the printer.

This function is often implemented using some form of polling, so it should not be enabled unless needed.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters

  track_status | `true` to track status after printing.

Glib::SignalProxy< void > Gtk::PrintJob::signal_status_changed | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_status_changed()`
