180 * @class FilePrintManager file_print_manager.h c++-gtk-utils/file_print_manager.h
181 * @brief A class to print a file using the GTK print system.
182 *
183 * The FilePrintManager class prints a file printable by the print
184 * system (eg lpr or CUPS) using the GTK printer interface. All
185 * print systems on Unix-like systems will print Postscript (PS)
186 * files. Some may also print PDF files. To obtain a
187 * FilePrintManager object, call FilePrintManager::create_manager().
188 * FilePrintManager::set_filename() passes the name of the file to be
189 * printed. To print the file, call FilePrintManager::print(). If
190 * FilePrintManager::print() returns true, the FilePrintManager class
191 * will unlink() (ie delete) the file to be printed when it has been
192 * finished with if true is passed as the second argument of
193 * FilePrintManager::set_filename(), even if printing failed.
194 *
195 * Once FilePrintManager::print() has been called, the
196 * FilePrintManager class owns a reference to itself and so manages
197 * its own lifetime - so once that method has been called it doesn't
198 * matter if the IntrusivePtr object returned by
199 * FilePrintManager::create_manager() goes out of scope (however, once
200 * FilePrintManager::print() has been called, the FilePrintManager
201 * object will not be deleted until both printing has completed or
202 * failed AND the IntrusivePtr object returned by
203 * FilePrintManager::create_manager() has gone out of scope or has
204 * been reset()).
205 *
206 * If the print dialog which is displayed on calling
207 * FilePrintManager::print() is to display a window icon, then pass
208 * FilePrintManager::create_manager() a GobjHandle<GdkPixbuf> icon as
209 * the second argument.
210 *
211 * Normally, a user would probably only want to use any one
212 * FilePrintManager object to print a single print job (it has been
213 * designed with that in mind). Nevertheless, if a reference to the
214 * object is kept alive via an active IntrusivePtr object, it can be
215 * used to print more than one print job. However, if that is done it
216 * is not possible to call FilePrintManager::print() or
217 * FilePrintManager::set_filename() until the previous print job (if
218 * any) has been dispatched to the GTK print system (or cancelled).
219 * If the FilePrintManager object is not ready because it is in the
220 * middle of handling an earlier print job, then the call to
221 * FilePrintManager::print() or FilePrintManager::set_filename() will
222 * return false; if however the new print job was successfully started
223 * or file name successfully set, they will return true. It is not
224 * necessary to check the return value of these methods for the first
225 * print job despatched by any one FilePrintManager object.
226 *
227 * For printing plain text (say, from a GtkTextBuffer class, or from a
228 * plain text file), see the TextPrintManager class.
229 *
230 * This class is not compiled into the library if the library is built
231 * with the \--without-gtk configuration option.
