PrintOperation.addOnPreview

Gets emitted when a preview is requested from the native dialog.

The default handler for this signal uses an external viewer application to preview.

To implement a custom print preview, an application must return %TRUE from its handler for this signal. In order to use the provided @context for the preview implementation, it must be given a suitable cairo context with gtk_print_context_set_cairo_context().

The custom preview implementation can use gtk_print_operation_preview_is_selected() and gtk_print_operation_preview_render_page() to find pages which are selected for print and render them. The preview must be finished by calling gtk_print_operation_preview_end_preview() (typically in response to the user clicking a close button).
