A GtkPrinter object represents a printer. You only need to deal directly with printers if you use the non-portable GtkPrintUnixDialog API.
A GtkPrinter allows to get status information about the printer, such as its description, its location, the number of queued jobs, etc. Most importantly, a GtkPrinter object can be used to create a GtkPrintJob object, which lets you print to the printer.
Printing support was added in GTK+ 2.10.
GtkPrinter* gtk_printer_new (const gchar *name, GtkPrintBackend *backend, gboolean virtual_);

void user_function (GtkPrinter *printer, gboolean success, gpointer user_data) : Run last
Gets emitted in response to a request for detailed information
about a printer from the print backend. The success parameter
indicates if the information was actually obtained.
| printer: | the GtkPrinter on which the signal is emitted | 
| success: | TRUEif the details were successfully acquired | 
| user_data: | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
