gtk.print_unix_dialog.PrintUnixDialog 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 with gtk.print_operation.PrintOperation.

In order to print something with gtk.print_unix_dialog.PrintUnixDialog, you need to use gtk.print_unix_dialog.PrintUnixDialog.getSelectedPrinter to obtain a gtk.printer.Printer object and use it to construct a gtk.print_job.PrintJob using gtk.print_job.PrintJob.new_.

gtk.print_unix_dialog.PrintUnixDialog uses the following response values:

• gtk.types.ResponseType.Ok: for the “Print” button
• gtk.types.ResponseType.Apply: for the “Preview” button
• gtk.types.ResponseType.Cancel: for the “Cancel” button

GtkPrintUnixDialog as GtkBuildable

The gtk.print_unix_dialog.PrintUnixDialog implementation of the gtk.buildable.Buildable interface exposes its @notebook internal children with the name “notebook”.

An example of a gtk.print_unix_dialog.PrintUnixDialog UI definition fragment:

<object class="GtkPrintUnixDialog" id="dialog1">
  <child internal-child="notebook">
    <object class="GtkNotebook" id="notebook">
      <child>
        <object type="GtkNotebookPage">
          <property name="tab_expand">False</property>
          <property name="tab_fill">False</property>
          <property name="tab">
            <object class="GtkLabel" id="tablabel">
              <property name="label">Tab label</property>
            </object>
          </property>
          <property name="child">
            <object class="GtkLabel" id="tabcontent">
              <property name="label">Content on notebook tab</property>
            </object>
          </property>
        </object>
      </child>
    </object>
  </child>
</object>
