Readonly defaultReadonly lastThe name of the last printer used. Note that this may not be set, or may no longer be a valid printer. The caller is responsible for checking and falling back to some other printer (such as the system default printer).
XXX: make it [infallible] when AString supports that (bug 1491187).
This function is the opposite of SerializeToPrintData, in that it takes a PrintData, and populates a pre-existing nsIPrintSettings with the data from PrintData.
nsresult
Optional aInstancePtr: objectA run time mechanism for interface discovery.
NS_OK if the interface is supported by the associated instance, NS_NOINTERFACE if it is not.
aInstancePtr must not be null.
[in] A requested interface IID
[out] A pointer to an interface pointer to receive the result.
Given some nsIPrintSettings, populates a PrintData representing them which can be sent over IPC. Values are only ever read from aSettings and aWBP.
nsresult
Pointer to a pre-existing PrintData to populate.
Reads PrintSettings values from Prefs, the values to be read are indicated by the "flags" arg.
aPrintSettings should be initialized with the name of a printer. First it reads in the PrintSettings from the last print job. Then it uses the PrinterName in the PrinterSettings to read any settings that were saved just for that printer.
aPS - PrintSettings to have its settings read aUsePrinterNamePrefix - indicates whether to use the printer name as a prefix aFlags - indicates which prefs to read, see nsIPrintSettings.idl for the const values.
Items not read: startPageRange, endPageRange, scaling, printRange, title docURL, isCancelled, printSilent, shrinkToFit, numCopies, printerName
Initializes certain settings from the native printer into the PrintSettings if aPrinterName is null then it uses the default printer name if it can These settings include, but are not limited to: Page Orientation Page Size Number of Copies
As long as the pref print.save_print_settings isn't set to false, this saves to prefs the settings from aPrintSettings that are indicated by aFlags.
If there is no PrinterName in the PrinterSettings the values are saved as the "generic" values not associated with any printer. If a PrinterName is there, then it saves the items qualified for that Printer
aPS - PrintSettings to have its settings saved aFlags - indicates which prefs to save, see nsIPrintSettings.idl for the const values.
