GXPrintRecordToJob

QuickDraw GX sends the GXPrintRecordToJob message when an application that supports the Macintosh Printing Manager calls the GXPrintRecordToJob function, which converts a print record into information in the job collection. You can override the GXPrintRecordToJob message if you have a printer driver written for the Macintosh Printing Manager with a print record format you wish to continue to support. Your override of the GXPrintRecordToJob message must match the following formal declaration:

OSErr MyPrintRecordToJob (THPrint aTHPrint, gxJob aJob);

aTHPrint

A handle to the print record for this printing operation.

aJob

The job object.

function result

An error code. The value noErr indicates that the operation was successful.

DESCRIPTION

The default implementation of the GXPrintRecordToJob message sends the GXConvertPrintRecordTo message and then moves all of the universal fields into the job object.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

You never send the GXPrintRecordToJob message yourself.

You can totally or partially override the GXPrintRecordToJob message.

RESULT CODES

gxSegmentLoadFailedErr	A required code segment could not be found, or there was not enough memory to load it.
gxPrUserAbortErr	The user has canceled printing.
