|phoenix_title|  **wx.PrintData**
==========================================================================================================================================

This class holds a variety of information related to printers and printer device contexts.          

This class is used to create a :ref:`wx.PrinterDC`  and a :ref:`wx.PostScriptDC`. It is also used as a data member of :ref:`wx.PrintDialogData`  and :ref:`wx.PageSetupDialogData`, as part of the mechanism for transferring data between the print dialogs and the application. 







         



.. seealso:: :ref:`Printing Framework Overview <printing framework overview>`, :ref:`wx.PrintDialog`, :ref:`wx.PageSetupDialog`, :ref:`wx.PrintDialogData`, :ref:`wx.PageSetupDialogData`, :ref:`PrintDialog Overview <printdialog overview>`, :ref:`wx.PrinterDC`, :ref:`wx.PostScriptDC`
