      extended by

public final class PrinterData

extends 
DeviceData

Instances of this class are descriptions of a print job in terms of the printer, and the scope and type of printing that is desired. For example, the number of pages and copies can be specified, as well as whether or not the print job should go to a file.

Application code does not need to explicitly release the resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer required, and thus no dispose() method is provided.

Field Detail

driver

public 
String driver
the printer driver On Windows systems, this is the name of the driver (often "winspool"). On Mac OSX, this is the destination type ("Printer", "Fax", "File", or "Preview"). On X/Window systems, this is the name of a display connection to the Xprt server (the default is ":1"). On GTK+, this is the backend type name (eg. GtkPrintBackendCups).

name

public 
String name
the name of the printer On Windows systems, this is the name of the 'device'. On Mac OSX, X/Window systems, and GTK+, this is the printer's 'name'.

scope

public int scope
the scope of the print job, expressed as one of the following values:
ALL_PAGES
Print all pages in the current document
PAGE_RANGE
Print the range of pages specified by startPage and endPage
SELECTION
Print the current selection

startPage

public int startPage
the start page of a page range, used when scope is PAGE_RANGE. This value can be from 1 to the maximum number of pages for the platform.

endPage

public int endPage
the end page of a page range, used when scope is PAGE_RANGE. This value can be from 1 to the maximum number of pages for the platform.

printToFile

public boolean printToFile
whether or not the print job should go to a file

fileName

public 
String fileName
the name of the file to print to if printToFile is true. Note that this field is ignored if printToFile is false.

copyCount

public int copyCount
the number of copies to print. Note that this field may be controlled by the printer driver In other words, the printer itself may be capable of printing multiple copies, and if so, the value of this field will always be 1.

collate

public boolean collate
whether or not the printer should collate the printed paper Note that this field may be controlled by the printer driver. In other words, the printer itself may be capable of doing the collation, and if so, the value of this field will always be false.

orientation
