Gtk.PrintJob
Description: Reference for Gtk.PrintJob

### Class

# GtkPrintJob

#### Description [src]

    final class Gtk.PrintJob : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A `GtkPrintJob` 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 `GtkPrintUnixDialog` API.

Use `gtk_print_job_get_surface()` to obtain the cairo surface onto which the pages must be drawn. Use `gtk_print_job_send()` to send the finished job to the printer. If you don’t use cairo `GtkPrintJob` also supports printing of manually generated PostScript, via `gtk_print_job_set_source_file()`.
