Functions
This section describes the functions for initializing and terminating printing features, handling errors, creating and managing job objects, printing using QuickDraw GX, obtaining information on print objects, displaying print dialog boxes, and converting a print record into a job object.Included with each function description is a list of specific result codes returned by QuickDraw GX. In addition to these result codes, you may also receive file-system, memory, and resource errors. For a complete listing of specific file-system, memory, and resource errors, see Inside Macintosh: C Summary or Inside Macintosh: Pascal Summary.
You should note that not all possible result codes for a particular function are included in function descriptions within this section. For example, the Message Manager, described in Inside Macintosh: Environment and Utilities, allows QuickDraw GX functions to send specific messages to your application. These messages can also generate errors.
- IMPORTANT
- All printing functions in QuickDraw GX, with the exception of the
GXGetJobErrorfunction, may move Macintosh memory. TheGXGetJobErrorfunction, however, relies on data that may also move. Therefore, your application should never call a QuickDraw GX printing-related function at interrupt time.
