GtkPrintContext

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Encapsulates context for drawing pages

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
A GtkPrintContext encapsulates context information that is required when
drawing pages for printing, such as the cairo context and important 
parameters like page size and resolution. It also lets you easily
create #PangoLayout and #PangoContext objects that match the font metrics 
of the cairo surface.
</para>
<para>
GtkPrintContext objects gets passed to the ::begin-print, ::end-print, 
::request-page-setup and ::draw-page signals on the #GtkPrintOperation.
