## Description

A WebKitPrintOperation controls a print operation in WebKit. With a similar API to GtkPrintOperation, it lets you set the print settings with `webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings()` or display the print dialog with `webkit_print_operation_run_dialog()`.

## Functions

### webkit_print_operation_new ()

    WebKitPrintOperation *
    webkit_print_operation_new (WebKitWebView *web_view);

Create a new WebKitPrintOperation to print `web_view` contents.

#### Parameters

web_view | a WebKitWebView |

#### Returns

a new WebKitPrintOperation.

### webkit_print_operation_get_print_settings ()

    GtkPrintSettings *
    webkit_print_operation_get_print_settings
                                   (WebKitPrintOperation *print_operation);

Return the current print settings of `print_operation` . It returns `NULL` until either `webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings()` or `webkit_print_operation_run_dialog()` have been called.

#### Parameters

print_operation | a WebKitPrintOperation |

#### Returns

the current GtkPrintSettings of `print_operation` .

### webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings ()

    void
    webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings
                                   (WebKitPrintOperation *print_operation,
                                    GtkPrintSettings *print_settings);

Set the current print settings of `print_operation` . Current print settings are used for the initial values of the print dialog when `webkit_print_operation_run_dialog()` is called.

#### Parameters

print_operation | a WebKitPrintOperation |
print_settings | a GtkPrintSettings to set |

### webkit_print_operation_get_page_setup ()

    GtkPageSetup *
    webkit_print_operation_get_page_setup (WebKitPrintOperation *print_operation);

Return the current page setup of `print_operation` . It returns `NULL` until either `webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings()` or `webkit_print_operation_run_dialog()` have been called.

#### Parameters

print_operation | a WebKitPrintOperation |

#### Returns

the current GtkPageSetup of `print_operation` .

[transfer none]

### webkit_print_operation_set_page_setup ()

    void
    webkit_print_operation_set_page_setup (WebKitPrintOperation *print_operation,
                                           GtkPageSetup *page_setup);

Set the current page setup of `print_operation` . Current page setup is used for the initial values of the print dialog when `webkit_print_operation_run_dialog()` is called.

#### Parameters

print_operation | a WebKitPrintOperation |
page_setup | a GtkPageSetup to set |

### webkit_print_operation_run_dialog ()

    WebKitPrintOperationResponse
    webkit_print_operation_run_dialog (WebKitPrintOperation *print_operation,
                                       GtkWindow *parent);

Run the print dialog and start printing using the options selected by the user. This method returns when the print dialog is closed. If the print dialog is cancelled `WEBKIT_PRINT_OPERATION_RESPONSE_CANCEL` is returned. If the user clicks on the print button, `WEBKIT_PRINT_OPERATION_RESPONSE_PRINT` is returned and the print operation starts. In this case, the “finished” signal is emitted when the operation finishes. If an error occurs while printing, the signal “failed” is emitted before “finished”. If the print dialog is not cancelled current print settings and page setup of `print_operation` are updated with options selected by the user when Print button is pressed in print dialog. You can get the updated print settings and page setup by calling `webkit_print_operation_get_print_settings()` and `webkit_print_operation_get_page_setup()` after this method.

#### Parameters

print_operation | a WebKitPrintOperation |
parent | transient parent of the print dialog. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

the WebKitPrintOperationResponse of the print dialog

### webkit_print_operation_print ()

    void
    webkit_print_operation_print (WebKitPrintOperation *print_operation);

Start a print operation using current print settings and page setup without showing the print dialog. If either print settings or page setup are not set with `webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings()` and `webkit_print_operation_set_page_setup()`, the default options will be used and the print job will be sent to the default printer. The “finished” signal is emitted when the printing operation finishes. If an error occurs while printing the signal “failed” is emitted before “finished”.

#### Parameters

print_operation | a WebKitPrintOperation |

## Types and Values

### WebKitPrintOperation

    typedef struct _WebKitPrintOperation WebKitPrintOperation;

### enum WebKitPrintOperationResponse

Enum values representing the response of the print dialog shown with `webkit_print_operation_run_dialog()`.

#### Members

WEBKIT_PRINT_OPERATION_RESPONSE_PRINT | Print button was cliked in print dialog |
WEBKIT_PRINT_OPERATION_RESPONSE_CANCEL | Print dialog was cancelled |
