GraphicsConfiguration isn't useful for this.
Printing attributes go way beyond graphics attributes.
You should be using javax.print and the methods are all on
the PrintService interface.
eg
PrintService.getSupportedAttributeValues(PrinterResolution.class,null, null);

SBT. We'd like fix this but it needs resources to do so.
There are PDF's etc of JavaOne talks on line at java.sun.com
Session 2250 in 2002 would be useful and session 595 from 2001
JAVA2D-INTEREST is the best list for printing questions.
Its the only one the people who work on this stuff have time
to read.

==========
While reading the API documentation on GraphicsConfiguration,
GraphicsEnvironment, and GraphicsDevice, they all mention printers. However,
reading the Graphics2D API on PrinterJob and friends I can find no way to get
the GraphicsConfigruation related to a PrinterJob like I can with
Window.getGraphicsConfiguration. Is there actually a way to find the
GraphicsConfiguration for a printer or is the documentation teasing me?
Is there any way to find more specific information on a print device like its
resolution via attributes?. The PrintServiceAttributeSet can only be used to
setting attributes, not for inquiry. And its badly documented at that (i.e. no
examples or tutorials). Took me too long to figure out someone else's
cleverness, only to discover you can't get the printer resolution that way. I'm
not at all impressed with the design here.
This seems to be a black magic area and any help would be greatly appreciated.
It would also be nice if there were a forum or new list specifically for
printing issues. Not nearly enough has been written or documented about printing
in Java,
Cheers, Eric
