Class

UIPrintInfo

Information about a print job.

Declaration

class UIPrintInfo : NSObject

Overview

A UIPrintInfo object encapsulates information about a print job, including printer identifier, job name, output type (photo, normal, grayscale), orientation (portrait or landscape), and any selected duplex mode. This information is used by the printing system when it prints.

Typically you create a UIPrintInfo object and assign it to the printInfo property of the shared UIPrintInteractionController instance. However, it is not necessary to create a UIPrintInfo object for a print job; UIKit assumes certain defaults. In the printing-options user interface, users can select the printer, single-side or double-side printing for duplex printers, and (if the application allows it) a range of pages to print.
