}}\label{wxprintdata
}
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.
