# Gtk::PrintJob Class Reference
[Printing]

Inheritance diagram for Gtk::PrintJob:

[legend]
List of all members.

## 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().

Since gtkmm 2.10:

## Public Types

typedef sigc::slot< void, const Glib::RefPtr<PrintJob >&> | SlotPrintJobComplete
| For example, void on_print_job_complete(const Glib::RefPtr<PrintJob>& job);.
