## 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.

`dialog` : | a GtkPrintUnixDialog
`settings` : | a GtkPrintSettings, or `NULL`

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.

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

Since 2.10

### gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_selected_printer ()

### enum GtkPrintCapabilities

    typedef enum
    {
      GTK_PRINT_CAPABILITY_PAGE_SET     = 1 << 0,

    } GtkPrintCapabilities;

An enum for specifying which features the print dialog should offer. I 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_unix_dialog_set_manual_capabilities ()

    void                gtk_print_unix_dialog_set_manual_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
