The **print** module provides APIs for basic print operations.

> **NOTE** 
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 10. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## Modules to Import

```ts
import { print } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';
```

## PrintTask

Implements event listeners for print tasks.

### PrintTask.on

on(type: 'block', callback: Callback&lt;void&gt;): void

Registers a listener for the print task block event. This API uses a callback to return the result.

**Required permissions**: ohos.permission.PRINT

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Print.PrintFramework

**Parameters**
| **Name**| **Type**| **Mandatory**| **Description**|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| type | string | Yes| Listening type.<br>The value is fixed at **'block'**, indicating blocking of the print task. |
| callback | Callback&lt;void&gt; | Yes| Callback used to return the result.|

**Error codes**

For details about the error codes, see [Error Codes of the Print Service](./errorcode-print.md).

| ID| Error Message                                   |
