Re: printing in java

Or the RPrinterList class

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/info/rzahh/javadoc/com/ibm/as400/resource/RPrinterList.html

// Create an RPrinterList object to represent a list of printers.
AS400 system = new AS400("MYSYSTEM", "MYUSERID", "MYPASSWORD");
RPrinterList printerList = new RPrinterList(system);


// Set the selection so that only printers which are selecting
// spooled files from the listed output queues are included
// in the list.
printerList.setSelectionValue(RPrinterList.OUTPUT_QUEUES,
new String[] { "/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYOUTQ1.OUTQ1",
"/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYOUTQ2.OUTQ2" });


// Open the list and wait for it to complete.
printerList.open();
printerList.waitForComplete();


// Read and print the device names and statuses
// for the printers in the list.
long numberOfPrinters = printerList.getListLength();
for(long i = 0; i < numberOfPrinters; ++i)
{
RPrinter printer = (RPrinter)printerList.resourceAt(i);
System.out.println(printer.getAttributeValue(RPrinter.DEVICE_NAME));
System.out.println(printer.getAttributeValue(RPrinter.DEVICE_STATUS));
System.out.println();
}


// Close the list.
printerList.close();

There's a PrinterList class in Toolbox for Java. That
sounds like the class you seek, but I've never used it
so I don't have sample code to share. Check out the
Javadoc at:

I am trying to use the following code to print on
the as400



      PrintService[] services =

PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);

        System.out.println("The number of printers
are: "
+services.length);



No matter what I put in the flavor or attributes
parameters, it still
returns 0. Is there an easy way to lookup up the
available printers?



Thanks
