Description
Interface Summary | |
---|---|
AttributeException | Interface AttributeException is a mixin interface which a subclass of
PrintException can implement to report an error condition
involving one or more printing attributes that a particular Print
Service instance does not support. |
CancelablePrintJob | This interface is used by a printing application to cancel a print job. |
Doc | Interface Doc specifies the interface for an object that supplies one piece of print data for a Print Job. |
DocPrintJob | This interface represents a print job that can print a specified document with a set of job attributes. |
FlavorException | Interface FlavorException is a mixin interface which a subclass of PrintException can implement to report an error condition
involving a doc flavor or flavors (class DocFlavor ). |
MultiDoc | Interface MultiDoc specifies the interface for an object that supplies more than one piece of print data for a Print Job. |
MultiDocPrintJob | Obtained from a MultiDocPrintService, a MultiDocPrintJob can print a specified collection of documents as a single print job with a set of job attributes. |
MultiDocPrintService | Interface MultiPrintService is the factory for a MultiDocPrintJob. |
PrintService | Interface PrintService is the factory for a DocPrintJob. |
URIException | Interface URIException is a mixin interface which a subclass of PrintException can implement to report an error condition
involving a URI address. |
Class Summary | |
---|---|
DocFlavor | Class DocFlavor encapsulates an object that specifies the
format in which print data is supplied to a DocPrintJob . |
DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY | Class DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY provides predefined static constant
DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a byte array
(byte[] ) as the print data representation class. |
DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY | Class DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY provides predefined static constant
DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a character array
(char[] ) as the print data representation class. |
DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM | Class DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM provides predefined static constant
DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a byte stream ( ) as the print
data representation class. |
DocFlavor.READER | Class DocFlavor.READER provides predefined static constant DocFlavor
objects for example doc flavors using a character stream ( ) as the print data
representation class. |
DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED | Class DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors for service formatted print data. |
DocFlavor.STRING | Class DocFlavor.STRING provides predefined static constant DocFlavor
objects for example doc flavors using a string ( ) as the print data representation class. |
DocFlavor.URL | Class DocFlavor.URL provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects. |
PrintServiceLookup | Implementations of this class provide lookup services for print services (typically equivalent to printers) of a particular type. |
ServiceUI | This class is a collection of UI convenience methods which provide a graphical user dialog for browsing print services looked up through the Java Print Service API. |
ServiceUIFactory | Services may optionally provide UIs which allow different styles of interaction in different roles. |
SimpleDoc | This class is an implementation of interface Doc that can
be used in many common printing requests. |
StreamPrintService | This class extends PrintService and represents a
print service that prints data in different formats to a
client-provided output stream. |
StreamPrintServiceFactory | A StreamPrintServiceFactory is the factory for
StreamPrintService instances,
which can print to an output stream in a particular
document format described as a mime type. |
Exception Summary | |
---|---|
PrintException | Class PrintException encapsulates a printing-related error condition that occurred while using a Print Service instance. |
Provides the principal classes and interfaces for the JavaTM Print Service API. The Java Print Service API enables client and server applications to:
An application invokes the static methods of the abstract class
PrintServiceLookup
to locate print
services that have the capabilities to satisfy the application's print
request. For example, to print a double-sided document, the application
first needs to find printers that have the double-sided printing capability.
The JDK includes PrintServiceLookup
implementations that
can locate the standard platform printers. To locate other types of printers,
such as IPP printers or JINI printers, a print-service provider can write
implementations of PrintServiceLookup
. The print-service provider
can dynamically install these PrintServiceLookup
implementations
using the
SPI JAR file specification.
javax.print.attribute
and javax.print.attribute.standard
packages define print attributes, which describe the capabilities of a print
service, specify the requirements of a print job, and track the progress of
a print job.
The javax.print.attribute
package describes the types of attributes and
how they can be collected into sets. The javax.print.attribute.standard
package enumerates all of the standard attributes supported by the API, most
of which are implementations of attributes specified in the IETF Specification,
RFC 2911 Internet Printing Protocol, 1.1: Model and Semantics, dated
September 2000. The attributes specified in javax.print.attribute.standard
include common capabilites, such as: resolution, copies, media sizes,
job priority, and page ranges.
DocFlavor
class represents the print data
format, such as JPEG or PostScript. A DocFlavor
object
consists of a MIME type, which describes the format, and a document
representation class name that indicates how the document is delivered
to the printer or output stream. An application uses the
DocFlavor
and an attribute set to find printers that can
print the document type specified by the DocFlavor
and have
the capabilities specified by the attribute set.
DocFlavor
.DocFlavor
and the attribute set.Doc
object encapsulating the
DocFlavor
and the actual print data, which can take many forms including: a Postscript
file, a JPEG image, a URL, or plain text.DocPrintJob
,
from the print service.
FileInputStream psStream; try { psStream = new FileInputStream("file.ps"); } catch (FileNotFoundException ffne) { } if (psStream == null) { return; } DocFlavor psInFormat = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT; Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(psStream, psInFormat, null); PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet(); aset.add(new Copies(5)); aset.add(MediaSize.A4); aset.add(Sides.DUPLEX); PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(psInFormat, aset); if (services.length > 0) { DocPrintJob job = services[0].createPrintJob(); try { job.print(myDoc, aset); } catch (PrintException pe) {} }
Please note: In the javax.print APIs, a null reference parameter to methods is incorrect unless explicitly documented on the method as having a meaningful interpretation. Usage to the contrary is incorrect coding and may result in a run time exception either immediately or at some later time. IllegalArgumentException and NullPointerException are examples of typical and acceptable run time exceptions for such cases.
