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” buttonGTK_RESPONSE_APPLY
: for the “Preview” buttonGTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL
: for the “Cancel” button
Printing support was added in GTK+ 2.10.
GtkPrintUnixDialog as GtkBuildable
The GtkPrintUnixDialog implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes its
notebook
internal children with the name “notebook”.

Functions
gtk_print_unix_dialog_new ()
GtkWidget * gtk_print_unix_dialog_new (const gchar *title
,GtkWindow *parent
);
Creates a new GtkPrintUnixDialog.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_page_setup ()
void gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_page_setup (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
,GtkPageSetup *page_setup
);
Sets the page setup of the GtkPrintUnixDialog.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_page_setup ()
GtkPageSetup *
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_page_setup (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
);
Gets the page setup that is used by the GtkPrintUnixDialog.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_current_page ()
void gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_current_page (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
,gint current_page
);
Sets the current page number. If current_page
is not -1, this enables
the current page choice for the range of pages to print.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_current_page ()
gint
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_current_page
(GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
);
Gets the current page of the GtkPrintUnixDialog.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_settings ()
void gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_settings (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
,GtkPrintSettings *settings
);
Sets the GtkPrintSettings for the GtkPrintUnixDialog. Typically, this is used to restore saved print settings from a previous print operation before the print dialog is shown.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_settings ()
GtkPrintSettings *
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_settings (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
);
Gets a new GtkPrintSettings object that represents the current values in the print dialog. Note that this creates a new object, and you need to unref it if don’t want to keep it.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_selected_printer ()
GtkPrinter *
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_selected_printer
(GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
);
Gets the currently selected printer.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_add_custom_tab ()
void gtk_print_unix_dialog_add_custom_tab (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
,GtkWidget *child
,GtkWidget *tab_label
);
Adds a custom tab to the print dialog.
Parameters
dialog |
||
child |
the widget to put in the custom tab |
|
tab_label |
the widget to use as tab label |
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_support_selection ()
void gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_support_selection (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
,gboolean support_selection
);
Sets whether the print dialog allows user to print a selection.
Since 2.18
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_support_selection ()
gboolean
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_support_selection
(GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
);
Gets the value of “support-selection” property.
Since 2.18
gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_has_selection ()
void gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_has_selection (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
,gboolean has_selection
);
Sets whether a selection exists.
Since 2.18
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_has_selection ()
gboolean
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_has_selection
(GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
);
Gets the value of “has-selection” property.
Since 2.18
gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_embed_page_setup ()
void gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_embed_page_setup (GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
,gboolean embed
);
Embed page size combo box and orientation combo box into page setup page.
Since 2.18
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_embed_page_setup ()
gboolean
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_embed_page_setup
(GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog

gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_page_setup_set ()
gboolean
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_page_setup_set

Since 2.18
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.
Since 2.10
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_manual_capabilities ()
GtkPrintCapabilities
gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_manual_capabilities
(GtkPrintUnixDialog *dialog
