Ashwin Karpe commented on CAMEL-1675:
-------------------------------------
Hadrian, Claus,
I did some research on a Mock Printer API that would simulate/unit test
printers, but did not find any readily available.
However, I did find the following things.
a> Microsoft has a Generic Text only printer driver that can write to a file.
It can be installed as a regular windows printer and the port can be directed
to a file.
b> I could not find an equivalent capability on Linux/Mac OS-X for the same.
I can validate that the printer will print text based out to the generic
printer if set up as default or as a named printer. At the moment
unfortunately, this is the best option.
Another option is to modify the PrinterOperations.print() operation to redirect
the output to a log file if an option such as test is set in the printer
component URL. This will provide an option log the job details and be one line
away from issuing the job to the printer.
Please advise if this is something you would prefer...
Cheers,
Ashwin...

>
> I have developed a camel printer component (producer) that facilitates
> printing of documents and images when a Printer URL is speified on a route.
> The component is developed using the standard javax.print package and uses
> the standard java JDK packages to print to all manner of printers.
> The Printer URL looks like the following:
> "
> lpr://localhost/default?copies=1&flavor=DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY&mimeType=AUTOSENSE&mediaSize=na-letter&sides=one-sided"
> The component allows you to set the following parameters:
> - copies
> - flavor
> - mimeType
> - mediaSize
> - sides
> All the values are setting against the javax.print.attribute.standard
> properties.
> Can the committers, please review, comment and commit as apropriate.
