Re: Printing in Java

[magne@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
try Google on some of the following and I guess that you will get a lot of hits:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
/* locate a print service that can handle it */
PrintService[] pservices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset);
/* create a print job for the chosen service */
DocPrintJob pj = pservices[printnbr].createPrintJob();
try {
/* * Create a Doc object to hold the print data.
* Since the data is postscript located in a disk file,
* an input stream needs to be obtained
* BasicDoc is a useful implementation that will if requested
* close the stream when printing is completed.
*/
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, null);
/* print the doc as specified */
pj.print(doc, aset);
