Detailed Description
This class is the main interface to access the KDE print framework.
It allows KDE applications to easily access the print system, through an interface that is compatible with QPrinter. So that the porting of an existing application should be as easy as replacing any occurrence of QPrinter by KPrinter. However applications that explicitly used the QPrintDialog class must be changed to the standard KPrinter way of accessing the print dialog.
Basically, a KDE application will use the KPrinter object as a paint device, and will draw on it using QPainter. In a standard application, the use of the KPrinter class will look like this:
#include <kprinter.h> #include <qpainter.h> void MyClass::doPrint() { KPrinter printer; // do some printer initialization printer.setFullPage( true ); // initialize the printer using the print dialog if ( printer.setup( this ) ) { // create a painter to paint on the printer object QPainter painter; // start painting painter.begin( &printer ); <do something> // stop painting, this will automatically send the print data to the printer painter.end(); } }
The KPrinter interface also allows some more advanced possibilities, like the customization of the print dialog to integrate application specific print options. This is done by subclassing KPrintDialogPage and adding the page using addDialogPage().
When compiling an application that uses KPrinter, you must link to -lkdeprint, which when using the standard KDE build framework can be done by adding to _LDADD.
The central interface class to access the KDE print system.

Definition at line 126 of file kprinter.h.
Defines the collate property of the printer (if supported by the print system):.
Collate:
copies collated (1-2-3-..., 1-2-3-...)Uncollate:

Definition at line 162 of file kprinter.h.
Defines whether the application can perform page selection itself or not.
Some print systems (like CUPS) can do page selection, in this case the page selection will be enabled in the print dialog, otherwise it will be disabled. However some applications (word processor) can do page selection themselves, then it will be enabled in the print dialog, whatever the print system used. But such an application has to tell kdeprint about its feature:
ApplicationSide:
the application will do page selectionSystemSide:
page selection will be left to the print system, if available (default)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
KPrinter::KPrinter | ( | bool | restore = true , |
|
QPrinter::PrinterMode | m = QPrinter::ScreenResolution | |||
) |
Constructor.
This also restores/saves the state from a previous KPrinter object created within the same application run, if restore
is true. Setting restore
to false may be useful if you want an independent/clean KPrinter object.
- Parameters:
-
restore if true, options will be restored/saved between successive KPrinter objects m the mode to establish the KPrinter in (see QPrinter::PrinterMode)
Definition at line 123 of file kprinter.cpp.
KPrinter::~KPrinter | ( | ) |
Destructor.
This also saves the current KPrinter state for future printing.
Definition at line 129 of file kprinter.cpp.

Definition at line 932 of file kprinter.cpp.
bool KPrinter::aborted | ( | ) | const |
void KPrinter::addDialogPage | ( | KPrintDialogPage * | _page | ) | [static] |
Adds a customized page to the print dialog.
The pages will appear in a tab widget in the bottom half of the dialog, along with the standard "Copies" page. The page must be created and added each time you want open a print dialog with setup(). If you correctly reimplemented KPrintDialogPage::setOptions(), the settings will be restored from call to call, you don't have to worry about state saving/restoration.
- Parameters:
-
_page the page to add
- See also:
- KPrintDialogPage::setOptions()
Definition at line 250 of file kprinter.cpp.
void KPrinter::addStandardPage | ( | int | p | ) | [static] |

Configure the KPrinter object to be used with the printer named prname
.
After the call, the KPrinter object can be used without the need to call the print dialog. If prname
is empty, then the KPrinter object is configured for the default printer. If prname
corresponds to a pseudo-printer which needs an output file, a file dialog will be used. In that case, providing a parent widget for that dialog in parent
may be useful.
- Parameters:
-
prname the name of the printer for which the KPrinter object has to be configured parent a parent widget, used a parent for a file dialog
- Returns:
- boolean flag: if false, the KPrinter has not been correctly set up, and the application shouldn't use it to print. This may happen if the printer named
prname
has not been found or if the user clicked "Cancel" in the file dialog.

This utility function allows any application for adding a printer using the KDEPrint powerful wizard.
- Parameters:
-
parent the parent widget for the wizard
- Returns:
- 1: success, 0: cancel, -1: error The KPrinter object stores all its settings in an internal QMap structure on QString. This allows to store any property. This method allows an application to access any print option from the KPrinter object, using the option name. For example if your application add a customized page to the print dialog, this page will saves its settings into the KPrinter object using this QMap<QString,QString> structure. After showing the print dialog, your application can then access these options using this method. The custom option name should follow the form "kde-appname-optionname".
void MyClass::doPrint() { KPrinter prt; // add my custom page prt.addDialogPage( new MyDialogPage() ); // open print dialog if ( prt.setup( this ) ) { QString fntname = prt.option( "kde-myapp-fontname" ); ... do_something; ... } }

This function is useful when using a KPrinter object without the print dialog, to control what to print and how to do it. The command line may contain the following tags:
- in : the input file to the print program. It is required and automatically appended at the end of the command line if not present.
- out : the output file. Use this tag in conjunction with setOutputToFile() and setOutputFileName()
- psl : the page size in lower case. This may be useful with some programs like gs.
void createPNGOutputFile(const QString& filename) { // use a clean KPrinter object KPrinter prt(false); prt.setOutputToFile( true ); prt.setOutputFileName( filename ); prt.setPrintProgram( "gs -sDEVICE=png256 -sPAPERSIZE=%psl -sOutputFile=%out %in" ); QPainter painter( &prt ); doPaint( &painter ); }

The resolution is given in DPI. This resolution mainly affects the accuracy for object positionning on the paint device, and does not influence the real resolution that will be used by the printer (this should be set in the driver settings). The resolution is usually defined in the constructor.
- Parameters:
-
dpi the resolution in DPI
- See also:
- KPrinter(), resolution()

For internal use.
- Parameters:
-
n the unique printer search name

const QString & | caption = QString::null , |
|||
bool | forceExpand = false | |||
) |
Sets up the KPrinter object using the print dialog, returns true if the user clicked OK.
- Parameters:

void KPrinter::setUsePrinterResolution | ( | bool | on | ) |
Define the KPrinter object to use the actual printer resolution.
Under some print systems (CUPS, Foomatic, PostScript printers), it is possible to know the actual resolution that is used by the printer, as selected by the user in the driver settings. If on
is true, this KPrinter object will use the actual printer resolution if it is able to extract it. If nothing can be found, the default resolution will be the one defined by the PrinterMode argument used in the KPrinter constructor, or set explicitly by setResolution().
- Parameters:
-
on true if the KPrinter object should use the actual printer resolution
- See also:
- resolution(), setResolution()

int KPrinter::toPage | ( | ) | const |
Returns the last page to be printed.
- Deprecated:
- Applications should use pageList() instead, which takes into account all options: collate, page order, ranges, page set, ...
- See also:
- pageList()

void KPrinter::translateQtOptions | ( | ) | [protected] |
Scale margings as the margin widget always stores values in dot units ( 1/72th in ), to be resolution independent when specified by the user ( who usually specifies margins in metric units ).
