Public Methods

public String getOutputFormat ()

Queries the factory for the document format that is emitted by printers obtained from this factory.

Returns
  • the output format described as a mime type.

public StreamPrintService getPrintService (OutputStream out)

Returns a StreamPrintService that can print to the specified output stream. The output stream is created and managed by the application. It is the application's responsibility to close the stream and to ensure that this Printer is not reused. The application should not close this stream until any print job created from the printer is complete. Doing so earlier may generate a PrinterException and an event indicating that the job failed.

Whereas a PrintService connected to a physical printer can be reused, a StreamPrintService connected to a stream cannot. The underlying StreamPrintService may be disposed by the print system with the dispose method before returning from the print method of DocPrintJob so that the print system knows this printer is no longer usable. This is equivalent to a physical printer going offline - permanently. Applications may supply a null print stream to create a queryable service. It is not valid to create a PrintJob for such a stream. Implementations which allocate resources on construction should examine the stream and may wish to only allocate resources if the stream is non-null.

Parameters
out destination stream for generated output.
Returns
  • a PrintService which will generate the format specified by the DocFlavor supported by this Factory.

public DocFlavor[] getSupportedDocFlavors ()

Queries the factory for the document flavors that can be accepted by printers obtained from this factory.

Returns
  • array of supported doc flavors.
