Detailed Description¶
Use the static functions to generate a list of QPrinterInfo objects. Each QPrinterInfo object in the list represents a single printer and can be queried for name, supported paper sizes, and whether or not it is the default printer.
- class PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo¶
PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo(printer)
PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo(other)
- Parameters
printer –
PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinter
Constructs an empty QPrinterInfo object.
See also
Constructs a QPrinterInfo object from printer.
Constructs a copy of other.
- static PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.availablePrinterNames()¶
- Return type
list of strings
Returns a list of all the available Printer Names on this system.
It is recommended to use this instead of availablePrinters() as it will be faster on most systems.
Note that the list may become outdated if changes are made on the local system or remote print server. Only instantiate required QPrinterInfo instances when needed, and always check for validity before calling.
- static PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.availablePrinters()¶
- Return type
Returns a list of QPrinterInfo objects for all the available printers on this system.
It is NOT recommended to use this as creating each printer instance may take a long time, especially if there are remote networked printers, and retained instances may become outdated if changes are made on the local system or remote print server. Use availablePrinterNames() instead and only instantiate printer instances as you need them.
Returns the default color mode of this printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.defaultDuplexMode()¶
- Return type
Returns the default duplex mode of this printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.defaultPageSize()¶
- Return type
Returns the current default Page Size for this printer.
- static PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.defaultPrinter()¶
- Return type
Returns the default printer on the system.
The return value should be checked using isNull() before being used, in case there is no default printer.
On some systems it is possible for there to be available printers but none of them set to be the default printer.

- static PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.defaultPrinterName()¶
- Return type
str
Returns the current default printer name.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.description()¶
- Return type
str
Returns the human-readable description of the printer.
See also
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.isDefault()¶
- Return type
bool
Returns whether this printer is currently the default printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.isNull()¶
- Return type
bool
Returns whether this QPrinterInfo object holds a printer definition.
An empty QPrinterInfo object could result for example from calling defaultPrinter() when there are no printers on the system.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.isRemote()¶
- Return type
bool
Returns whether this printer is a remote network printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.location()¶
- Return type
str
Returns the human-readable location of the printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.makeAndModel()¶
- Return type
str
Returns the human-readable make and model of the printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.maximumPhysicalPageSize()¶
- Return type
Returns the maximum physical page size supported by this printer.
See also
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.minimumPhysicalPageSize()¶
- Return type
Returns the minimum physical page size supported by this printer.
See also
- static PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.printerInfo(printerName)¶
- Parameters
printerName – str
- Return type
Returns the printer printerName.
The return value should be checked using isNull() before being used, in case the named printer does not exist.
See also
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.printerName()¶
- Return type
str
Returns the name of the printer.
This is a unique id to identify the printer and may not be human-readable.

- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.state()¶
- Return type
Returns the current state of this printer.
This state may not always be accurate, depending on the platform, printer driver, or printer itself.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.supportedColorModes()¶
- Return type
Returns the supported color modes of this printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.supportedDuplexModes()¶
- Return type
Returns a list of duplex modes supported by this printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.supportedPageSizes()¶
- Return type
Returns a list of Page Sizes supported by this printer.
- PySide6.QtPrintSupport.QPrinterInfo.supportedResolutions()¶
- Return type
Returns a list of resolutions supported by this printer.
