# printPageRenderer

An object that draws pages of printable content when UIKit requests it.

```
var printPageRenderer: UIPrintPageRenderer? { get set }
```

## Discussion

The object assigned to this property must be an instance of a custom subclass of [`UIPrintPageRenderer`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintPageRenderer). The `UIPrintInteractionController` class retains the page-renderer object and releases it at the end of the print job. The default value is `nil`.

If you set this property, `UIPrintInteractionController` sets the [`printingItems`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInteractionController/printingItems), [`printingItem`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInteractionController/printingItem), [`printFormatter`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInteractionController/printFormatter) properties to `nil`. (Only one of these properties can be set for a print job.)

If this property is set and the [`showsPageRange`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInteractionController/showsPageRange) property is set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>—and the rendered content is greater than one page—the printing options include the control for selecting a page range.
