Advanced Job Object Functions

You use the GXGetJobOutputPrinter function to determine the output printer for a print job and use the GXGetJobFormattingPrinter function to determine the formatting printer for the print job. You use the GXSelectJobFormattingPrinter function to specify a formatting printer for a particular print job.

QuickDraw GX provides a place to store a reference constant in each job object for your application's use. A reference constant is accessible through the GXGetJobRefCon function. You use the GXSetJobRefCon function to set a reference constant.

You can duplicate a job object using the GXCopyJob function. This function allows you to take an existing job object and duplicate it for use with another document, causing the associated printer driver, formatting information, and other settings to be used by the other document.
