Detailed Description

Printer control interface.

This abstract base class acts as the interface between a CPrinterDevice object and the printer. It creates the context for, and controls the progress and termination of the print job.

Only those who need to add new printer drivers should write derived classes. After instantiation of such a class, using CPrinterDevice::CreateControlL(), the object can be accessed via the iControl member of CPrinterDevice.

Member Function Documentation

AbortPrint ( )

void

AbortPrint

(

)

[pure virtual]

Aborts the print process before it has completed.

This function should be called if QueueGetBand() reports an error.

BandsPerPage ( )

TInt

BandsPerPage

(

)

[pure virtual]

Gets the number of bands per page.

Returns: The number of bands on each page.

QueueEndPrint ( TRequestStatus & )

void

QueueEndPrint

(

TRequestStatus &

aStatus

)

[pure virtual]

Terminates the print process.

This is an asynchronous function and is called when no more bands in the document remain to be printed.Note that all bands have been printed when no more pages or copies remain to be printed, and QueueGetBand() returns ENoMoreToPrint.

Parameter	Description
aStatus	Request status object. On successful completion contains KErrNone, otherwise another of the system-wide error codes.

QueueGetBand ( TRequestStatus &, TBandAttributes & )

TMoreOnPage	QueueGetBand	(	TRequestStatus &	aStatus,
			TBandAttributes &	aBand
		)	[pure virtual]

Prints the next band on the page.

This is an asynchronous function.

Parameter	Description
aStatus	Request status object. On successful completion contains KErrNone, otherwise another of the system-wide error codes.
aBand	On return, indicates the attributes of the band, including its height and width and whether or not the device will ignore one or other of graphics or text output. This information may be used by applications to draw more efficiently, or may be ignored

Returns: EMoreOnPage, if any unprinted bands remain on the current page. ENoMoreOnPage, if the current band is last on page.
