e712. Printing to a FileThere are two ways to print to a file. One way is to use a streaming print service (see e701 The Quintessential Printing Program Using a Streaming Printing Service) that writes to an output stream that you supply. The other is to request that the print service write directly into a specified file. This example demonstrates the latter, by using aDestination print job attribute to specify the
destination filename. The example prints to a file
called e:\temp\out.ps .
Print job attributes are delivered to the print service via
the print request attribute set supplied to DocPrintJob.print() .
See e700 The Quintessential Printing Program Using a Printing Service to see how to set up a print job.
try { // Set up destination attribute PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet(); aset.add(new Destination(new java.net.URI("file:e:/temp/out.ps"))); // Print it job.print(doc, aset); } catch (PrintException e) { } catch (java.net.URISyntaxException e) { }
