The gtk:print-context object encapsulates context information that is required when drawing pages for printing, such as the Cairo context and important parameters like page size and resolution. It also lets you create pango:layout and pango:context objects that match the font metrics of the Cairo surface.

The gtk:print-context object gets passed to the "begin-print", "end-print", "request-page-setup" and "draw-page" signal handlers on the print operation. Using the gtk:print-context object in a draw-page callback function.
