It was replaced by GTK+ printing several years ago and is almost never used any longer anyhow, so any problems in this code (and there are some) would never be found and fixed. Also update the message catalogs to avoid having the strings not used any more, as they were only used in Gnome printing code. Closes #15517. git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@74912 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775

@page overview_unixprinting Printing Under Unix (GTK+)
|
|
|
|
Printing under Unix has always been a cause of problems as Unix does not
|
|
provide a standard way to display text and graphics on screen and print it to a
|
|
printer using the same application programming interface - instead, displaying
|
|
on screen is done via the X11 library while printing has to be done with using
|
|
PostScript commands. This was particularly difficult to handle for the case of
|
|
fonts with the result that only a selected number of application could offer
|
|
WYSIWYG under Unix. Equally, wxWidgets offered its own printing implementation
|
|
using PostScript which never really matched the screen display.
|
|
|
|
Since GTK+ 2.10, support for printing has been added to GTK+ itself and
|
|
beginning with wxWidgets 2.9, GTK+ printing is used by default (i.e. unless
|
|
<tt>--without-gtkprint</tt> was explicitly used when configuring the library).
|
|
Support for GTK+ print is detected dynamically, i.e. during the run-time: if it
|
|
is found, printing will be done through GTK+, otherwise the application will
|
|
fall back to the old PostScript printing code. This allows the applications
|
|
built with wxWidgets to still work on the very old systems using GTK+ earlier
|
|
than 2.10.
