2
3 This class holds a variety of information related to printers and
4 printer device contexts. This class is used to create a wxPrinterDC
5 and a wxPostScriptDC. It is also used as a data member of wxPrintDialogData
6 and wxPageSetupDialogData, as part of the mechanism for transferring data
7 between the print dialogs and the application.

741 the printing of a document, and whether the print dialog should be invoked first.
742
743 Print could return false if there was a problem initializing the printer device context

754 and no error occurred), a suitable device context will be returned
755 (otherwise NULL is returned -- call
756 \helpref{wxPrinter::GetLastError}{wxprintergetlasterror} to get detailed

802
803 Pass a \helpref{wxPrintData}{wxprintdata} object with information
804 necessary for setting up a suitable printer device context. This
805 is the recommended way to construct a wxPrinterDC. Make sure you
806 specify a reference to a \helpref{wxPrintData}{wxprintdata} object,
807 not a pointer - you may not even get a warning if you pass a pointer
808 instead.

812
813 Constructor. With empty strings for the first three arguments, the default printer dialog is
814 displayed. {\it device} indicates the type of printer and {\it output}
815 is an optional file for printing to. The {\it driver} parameter is
816 currently unused. Use the {\it Ok} member to test whether the

864 Returns the device context associated with the printout (given to the printout at start of

872
873 Called by the framework to obtain information from the application about minimum and maximum page values that
874 the user can select, and the required page range to be printed. By default this
875 returns 1, 32000 for the page minimum and maximum values, and 1, 1 for the required page range.
876
877 If {\it minPage} is zero, the page number controls in the print dialog will be disabled.

906 same as the values returned from \helpref{wxDC::GetSize}{wxdcgetsize} if
907 the printout is being used for previewing, since in this case, a

1035 a wxPreviewFrame object. Previewing is started by initializing and showing
1036 the preview frame. Unlike wxPrinter::Print, flow of control returns to the application
1037 immediately after the frame is shown.

1062 Constructor. Pass a printout object, an optional printout object to be
1063 used for actual printing, and the address of an optional
1064 block of printer data, which will be copied to the print preview object's
1065 print data.
1066
1067 If {\it printoutForPrinting} is non-NULL, a {\bf Print...} button will be placed on the
1068 preview frame so that the user can print directly from the preview interface.
1069
1070 Do not explicitly delete the printout objects once this destructor has been

1072 The same does not apply to the {\it data} argument.
