class Gtk::PrintJob

Overview

A Gtk::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 Gtk::PrintUnixDialog API.

Use Gtk::PrintJob#surface to obtain the cairo surface onto which the pages must be drawn. Use Gtk::PrintJob#send to send the finished job to the printer. If you don’t use cairo Gtk::PrintJob also supports printing of manually generated PostScript, via Gtk::PrintJob#source_file=.

def pages=(pages : Gtk::PrintPages) : Nil #

Sets the Gtk::PrintPages setting for this job.


[View source]

[View source]
def printer=(value : Gtk::Printer | Nil) : Gtk::Printer | Nil #

[View source]
def reverse : Bool #

[View source]
def send(callback : Gtk::PrintJobCompleteFunc) : Nil #

[View source]
def source_fd=(fd : Int32) : Bool #

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.

This is similar to Gtk::PrintJob#source_file=, but takes expects an open file descriptor for the file, instead of a filename.


[View source]
def source_file=(filename : String) : Bool #

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.


[View source]
def status : Gtk::PrintStatus #

[View source]
def surface : Cairo::Surface #

[View source]
def title : String #

Gets the job title.


[View source]
def title=(value : String) : String #

[View source]
def track_print_status : Bool #

Returns whether jobs will be tracked after printing.

For details, see Gtk::PrintJob#track_print_status=.


[View source]
def track_print_status=(track_status : Bool) : Nil #

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.
