Description

GtkPrintUnixDialog implements a print dialog for platforms which don't provide a native print dialog, like Unix. It can be used very much like any other GTK+ dialog, at the cost of the portability offered by the high-level printing API

In order to print something with GtkPrintUnixDialog, you need to use gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_selected_printer() to obtain a GtkPrinter object and use it to construct a GtkPrintJob using gtk_print_job_new().

GtkPrintUnixDialog uses the following response values:

GTK_RESPONSE_OK

for the "Print" button
GTK_RESPONSE_APPLY

for the "Preview" button
GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL

for the "Cancel" button

Printing support was added in GTK+ 2.10.

current_page : the current page number.

Since 2.10

gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_current_page ()

gint                gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_current_page

dialog : a GtkPrintUnixDialog
settings : a GtkPrintSettings, or NULL

gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_settings ()

GtkPrintSettings*   gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_settings  (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog);

dialog : a GtkPrintUnixDialog
Returns : a new GtkPrintSettings object with the values from dialog

Since 2.10

gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_selected_printer ()

GtkPrinter*         gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_selected_printer
                                                        (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog);

Adds a custom tab to the print dialog.

dialog : a GtkPrintUnixDialog
child : the widget to put in the custom tab
tab_label : the widget to use as tab label

Since 2.10

enum GtkPrintCapabilities

typedef enum
{
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_PAGE_SET     = 1 << 0,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_COPIES       = 1 << 1,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_COLLATE      = 1 << 2,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_REVERSE      = 1 << 3,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_SCALE        = 1 << 4,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_GENERATE_PDF = 1 << 5,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_GENERATE_PS  = 1 << 6,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_PREVIEW      = 1 << 7,
  GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_NUMBER_UP    = 1 << 8
} GtkPrintCapabilities;

An enum for specifying which features the print dialog should offer. If neither GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_GENERATE_PDF nor GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_GENERATE_PS is specified, GTK+ assumes that all formats are supported.

GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_PAGE_SET
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_COPIES
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_COLLATE
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_REVERSE
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_SCALE
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_GENERATE_PDF The program will send the document to the printer in PDF format
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_GENERATE_PS The program will send the document to the printer in Postscript format
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_PREVIEW
GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_NUMBER_UP Print dialog will offer printing multiple pages per sheet. Since 2.12

gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_manual_capabilities ()

void                gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_manual_capabilities
                                                        (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog,
                                                         GtkPrintCapabilities capabilities);

This lets you specify the printing capabilities your application supports. For instance, if you can handle scaling the output then you pass GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_SCALE. If you don't pass that, then the dialog will only let you select the scale if the printing system automatically handles scaling.

dialog : a GtkPrintUnixDialog
capabilities : the printing capabilities of your application

Since 2.10
