# supportedJobTypes

The capabilities of the printer.

```
var supportedJobTypes: UIPrinter.JobTypes { get }
```

## Discussion

Job types indicate the types of operations you can perform with the printer. You might use this information when deciding whether or not to use a printer for a particular task. For example, a photo app might prevent a printer picker interface from displaying printers that do not support the [`photo`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrinter/JobTypes/photo) job type.

For printers you create yourself using the [`init(url:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrinter/init(url:)-1mibn) method, the value of this property is [`unknown`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrinter/JobTypes/unknown) until you successfully connect to the printer using the [`contactPrinter(_:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrinter/contactPrinter(_:)) method.
