Sending the raw bytes of a PDF file to a printer will work only if the
printer itself can interpret PDF.
I'd be surprised if this ZDesigner LP 2824 is capable of this.

Hi, here's my problem.
My aim is printing a PDF file by DocPrintJob, instead of PrintJob and Printable
class. Here's a code fragment:
[..]
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE;
HashPrintServiceAttributeSet serviceAttributeSet = new
HashPrintServiceAttributeSet();
PrintService[] printServices =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, serviceAttributeSet);
for (int i = 0; i printServices.length; i++) {
String printerName = printServices[i].getName();
if(MYPRINTER.equals(printerName)) {
//found!!
PrintService printService = printServices[i];
DocPrintJob docPrintJob =
printService.createPrintJob();
docPrintJob.addPrintJobListener(new
PrintJobAdapter() {
public void
printDataTransferCompleted(PrintJobEvent e) {
System.out.println(Document sent to
printer.);
}
public void
printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent e) {
System.out.println(Document was
successfully printed.);
}
public void
printJobCancelled(PrintJobEvent e) {
System.out.println(Document
printing was cancelled.);
}
public void
printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent e){
System.out.println(Document failed
to print.);
}
public void
printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent e) {
System.out.println(No more print
events.);
}
public void
printJobRequiresAttention(PrintJobEvent e) {
System.out.println(Printer requires
attention.);
}
}
);
File f = new File(PDFFILE);
byte[] bytesFromFile = getBytesFromFile(f);
SimpleDoc doc = new SimpleDoc(bytesFromFile,
flavor, null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet reqAttributeSet = new
HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
reqAttributeSet.add(new MediaPrintableArea(0f,
0f, 1.85f, 1.1f, MediaPrintableArea.INCH));
reqAttributeSet.add(new Copies(1));
docPrintJob.print(doc, reqAttributeSet);
[..]
where MYPRINTER is the target printer name (at the moment, ZDesigner LP 2824).
When code is executed, the standard output displays
Document sent to printer.
No more print events.
i.e., a [i]printDataTransferCompleted(e)[/i] and a
[i]printJobNoMoreEvents(e)[/i] is fired to the anonymous PrintJobListener.
But the printer doesn't print (neither a blank page).
Changing the target printer name (i.e., using another printer, an HP Laser
Jet), all works fine.
Why?
