Class GlintStreamPrinter

java.lang.Object
  com.elixirtech.glint.print.GlintStreamPrinter

public class GlintStreamPrinter
extends java.lang.Object

GlintStreamPrinter will output to a printer in two modes GUI or Slient mode. In Interactive mode, a number of dialog settings are ignored because they are already fixed by the Glint data. Ideally these would not be shown, but the Java dialog doesn't give that option. The ignored values are:

• Orientation: A glint file may contain a mix of landscape and portrait pages
• Margins: A glint file may contain multiple sections, each with a different set of margins

The orientation shown on the dialog is the orientation of the first page in the glint. Changing it in the dialog has no effect. The margins shown on the dialog are the default for the printer. Glint is a full-page description language, and does not retain margin information after rendering.
All other print attributes - eg. page range, number of copies etc. will be applied, if supported by the chosen printer.

public GlintStreamPrinter()

Method Detail

setTargetPrinters

public void setTargetPrinters(java.lang.String[] printers)

Set the printer names that will be tried (in order) for non-interactive printing. The first printer that is able to handle the requested print attributes will be used. This value is not used in interactive mode. If no value is set, or the value is either null or a zero length array, then the default printer will be used.

Parameters:

printers - An array of printer names.

setPhysicalPageSize

public void setPhysicalPageSize(java.awt.Dimension physicalPageSizeOrNull)

print

public void print(boolean interactive,
                  java.io.InputStream is,
                  javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet aset,
                  javax.print.event.PrintJobListener pjl)
           throws java.io.IOException,
                  javax.print.PrintException,
                  java.awt.print.PrinterException

Print API for printing a glint input stream.

Parameters:

interactive - Pass true to show a print dialog or false for silent printing

is - Glint input stream - eg. byte array stream or file input stream

aset - The desired print attributes (see J2SE(TM) Print Service API for the possible parameters)

pjl - To monitor the status of the printer job

Throws:

java.io.IOException - An error reading the Glint stream

javax.print.PrintException - An exception has occurred in the print system

java.awt.print.PrinterException - No print service found that matches the desired attributes.

printNonInteractive

public void printNonInteractive(javax.print.PrintService ps,
                                java.io.InputStream is,
                                javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet aset,
                                javax.print.event.PrintJobListener pjl)
                         throws java.io.IOException,
                                javax.print.PrintException

Print API for printing a glint input stream with no dialog.

Parameters:

ps - The Print service.

is - Glint input stream - eg. byte array stream or file input stream

aset - The desired print attributes (see J2SE(TM) Print Service API for the possible parameters)

pjl - To monitor the status of the printer job

Throws:

java.io.IOException - An error reading the Glint stream

javax.print.PrintException - An exception has occurred in the print system

printNonInteractive

public void printNonInteractive(javax.print.PrintService ps,
                                com.elixirtech.glint.IEye eye,
                                javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet aset,
                                javax.print.event.PrintJobListener pjl)
                         throws java.io.IOException,
                                javax.print.PrintException

Print API for printing a glint Eye object with no dialog.

Parameters:
