Description [src] 

final class Gtk.Printer : GObject.Object
{
  /* No available fields */
}

Represents a printer.

You only need to deal directly with printers if you use the non-portable GtkPrintUnixDialog API.

A GtkPrinter allows to get status information about the printer, such as its description, its location, the number of queued jobs, etc. Most importantly, a GtkPrinter object can be used to create a GtkPrintJob object, which lets you print to the printer.
