# init(dictionary:)

Returns a print-information object that is initialized with the data in the passed-in dictionary.

## Declaration

```swift
init(dictionary: [AnyHashable : Any]?)
```

## Parameters

- `dictionary`: A dictionary that contains data to initialize the UIPrintInfo object with.

## Return Value

Return Value An instance of UIPrintInfo or nil if the object could not be created.

## Discussion

Discussion You use the dictionary parameter to initialize a UIPrintInfo object with stored print-job information.  Some applications might archive a previous UIPrintInfo object and use that for a future print job with this method. You can later access the dictionary by calling the dictionaryRepresentation method on the UIPrintInfo object.
