Folks - we're sending a print job from java using the code below.
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(fileLocation);
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fin, DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF, null);
job.print(doc, pras);
It prints the default account user separator job page on the printer - but not
the content of the PDF as well.
There's clearly a trick to send the PDF to the print so it gets interpreted and
actually printed. Do we need to interprete it to PS first or something?
I assume other people have this working - help please!
Thanks, DW
========================
public static void PrintPDFPages(Document document,String fileLocation) {
try {
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
pras.add(new Copies(2));
PrintService pss[] =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF, pras);
if (pss.length == 0)
throw new RuntimeException("No printer services available.");
PrintService ps = pss[0];
System.out.println("Printer Name [0]"+pss[0].getName().toString());
System.out.println("Printer Name [1]"+pss[0].getName().toString());
System.out.println("Printer Name [2]"+pss[0].getName().toString());
PrintService ps1 = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
System.out.println("Default printer: "+ps1.getName());
System.out.println("Printing to " + ps);
DocPrintJob job = ps1.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(fileLocation);
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fin, DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF, null);
job.print(doc, pras);
fin.close();
} catch (IOException ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
} catch (PrintException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
