The Quintessential Printing Program Using a Printing Service
This example demonstrates a program that prints
an image on the default print service.
Since DocPrintJob.print() is not guaranteed to be synchronous, it
is necessary to watch for a print job completion event before closing
the input stream.
import java.io.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.print.event.*;
public class BasicPrint {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Open the image file
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream("filename.gif"));
// Find the default service
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.GIF;
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
// Create the print job
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
// Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
// see Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
// Print it
job.print(doc, null);
// Wait for the print job to be done
pjDone.waitForDone();
// It is now safe to close the input stream
is.close();
} catch (PrintException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
