RE: Printing in Java

Hey guy,

        Thanks for the boost.  I have been through about five different
approaches to finally find that the printer ignores anything it doesn't like
<smile>.  My primary talent is not giving up...

Regards,
Rick

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);

Hi Group,

I have written several swing apps (desktop client -> 
iSeries-i5-whatever), but have never used java to print 

anything. I now 

have a need to produce print-out on a little thermal printer 

as part of 

the new app I'm working on. Can anybody point me in the right 
direction? What I've found so far seems a bit convoluted. ;) 

Of course 

much of java has struck me that way... <smile>

I continue to dig, but pointers are always welcome. Thanks 

in advance!
