## Detailed Description

PrintUnixDialog implements a print dialog for platforms which don't provide a native print dialog, like Unix.

It can be used very much like any other GTK+ dialog, at the cost of the portability offered by the high-level printing API exposed through PrintOperation.

In order to print something with PrintUnixDialog, you need to use get_selected_printer() to obtain a Printer object and use it to construct a PrintJob using PrintJob::create().

PrintUnixDialog uses the following response values:

- RESPONSE_OK for the "Print" button
- RESPONSE_APPLY for the "Preview" button
- RESPONSE_CANCEL for the "Cancel" button

Since gtkmm 2.10:
