Struct PrintJob

pub struct PrintJob { /* private fields */ }

Available on Linux only.

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 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 PrintJob also supports printing of manually generated PostScript, via set_source_file().

Properties

Signals

status-changed

Emitted when the status of a job changes.

The signal handler can use PrintJob::status() to obtain the new status.

pub fn set_source_fd(&self, fd: i32) -> Result<(), Error>

Make the 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 Printer::accepts_pdf() and Printer::accepts_ps().

This is similar to set_source_file(), but takes expects an open file descriptor for the file, instead of a filename.

fd

a file descriptor

Returns

false if an error occurred

pub fn set_source_file(&self, filename: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<(), Error>

Make the 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 Printer::accepts_pdf() and Printer::accepts_ps().

filename

the file to be printed

Returns

false if an error occurred

pub fn set_track_print_status(&self, track_status: bool)

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.

track_status

true to track status after printing

pub fn page_setup(&self) -> Option<PageSetup>

Page setup.

pub fn connect_status_changed<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>( &self, f: F, ) -> SignalHandlerId

Emitted when the status of a job changes.

The signal handler can use status() to obtain the new status.

pub fn connect_track_print_status_notify<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>( &self, f: F, ) -> SignalHandlerId

impl PrintJob

pub fn send<P: Fn(&PrintJob, Result<(), Error>) + 'static>(&self, callback: P)

Sends the print job off to the printer.

callback

function to call when the job completes or an error occurs
