Inheritance diagram for wx.Printer:
This class represents the Windows or PostScript printer, and is the vehicle through which printing may be launched by an application.
Printing can also be achieved through using of lower functions and classes, but this and associated classes provide a more convenient and general method of printing.
Constructor. Pass an optional pointer to a block of print dialog data, which will be copied to the printer object’s local data.
Parameters:
Returns:
Creates the default printing abort window, with a cancel button.
Parameters:
Returns True if the user has aborted the print job.
Returns:
bool
Return last error. Valid after calling Print, PrintDialog or wx.PrintPreview.Print.
These functions set last error to wx.PRINTER_NO_ERROR if no error happened.
Returned value is one of the following:
| Printer Error Flags | Description |
|---|---|
| wx.PRINTER_NO_ERROR | No error happened. |
| wx.PRINTER_CANCELLED | The user cancelled printing. |
| wx.PRINTER_ERROR | There was an error during printing. |
Returns:
int
Returns the print data associated with the printer object.
Returns:
Starts the printing process. Provide a parent window, a user-defined wx.Printout object which controls the printing of a document, and whether the print dialog should be invoked first.
Print could return False if there was a problem initializing the printer device context (current printer not set, for example) or the user cancelled printing. Call GetLastError to get detailed information about the kind of the error.
Returns:
bool
Invokes the print dialog. If successful (the user did not press Cancel and no error occurred), a suitable device context will be returned (otherwise None is returned – call GetLastError to get detailed information about the kind of the error).
The application must delete this device context to avoid a memory leak.
Returns:
Default error-reporting function.
Parameters:
