Printing a PDF document using Java 1.4 Printing API

Hi,
When I tried to print a PDF document using JAVA 1.4 Printing API, I got the following exception.
Exception in thread "main" sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor
at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:290)
at Printing.main(Printing.java:40)
I am able to print the same PDF document using Acrobat reader.
Is PDF format not supported in JAVA 1.4 printing API? or is something wrong in my code?
here is the sample JAVA program that I was using
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Printing {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String filename = args[0];
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras =
new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF;
PrintService defaultService =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
job.print(doc, pras);
Thread.sleep(10000);
System.exit(0);
Thank you
Sumana

Here's a pure Java solution (that works!):
http://www.mycgiserver.com/~zhouwu/pdf/readme.html
The caveats are:
- prints only to the default printer
- requires a properties file located in the home directory
my workaround for the last:
     * Print a PDF file to the default printer (might consume lots of memory!).
     * <p>
     * <b>Required:</b>
     * <ul>
     * <li>a file "acrobat.properties" needs to be in the working directory. The content is:
<table align="center" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" border=1 cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><pre style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">

     * <li>The JAR files PDFPrinter.jar, acrobat.jar and MRJToolkitStubs.zip in the CLASSPATH.
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * Note: the file "acrobat.properties" is expected to be in the user's home directory. As this is not always feasible,
     * the system property "user.home" is mapped to "user.dir" for the time of execution.
     * @param fileName Name of PDF file to print.
     * @throws Exception on error.
     * @see <a href="http://www.mycgiserver.com/~zhouwu/pdf/readme.html">PDF Server (Silent) Printing</a>
    public void printPDF(String fileName) throws Exception {

        vi.setDocumentInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileName));
        vi.printAll();
        System.setProperty("user.home", oldHome);
    }//printPDF()I just need the following additional files in my CLASSPATH: PDFPrinter.jar, acrobat.jar and MRJToolkitStubs.zip. Despite the note at the site above that "printing quality is not very good", i can't agree: the print quality is quite good. Not perfect, but acceptable for most uses.

Unable to locate existing file from unix using java program

Hi
I have created a file in unix using java program, file.createNewFile();
And when i try to search for the same file using file.exists() it is returning false. Paths are correct. Can anybody help me out.
Thanks & Regards,

In Linux FC5 using JDK1.6, this code File temp = new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/abcdefghijklmn");
System.out.println(temp.createNewFile());prints 'true' and the file is created with length zero.

Monitor Print Queue with java program

I'm plan to write a client/server based application which control the printing for every user. I've no idea how to start on the application.
1. Is it possible to monitor the print queue or print job using java application?
2. How does the server react if the client sending the print job to there? How's the client can trigger the signal during printing and send to the server?
Thank you!

I'm plan to write a client/server based application
which control the printing for every user. I've no
idea how to start on the application.You should establish feasibility first, before planning to write anything
1. Is it possible to monitor the print queue or print
job using java application?Not really. Print queues are highly system-dependent things and some e.g. Windows can really only be accessed via system calls in a native language.
2. How does the server react if the client sending
the print job to there?Err, it prints the file?
How's the client can trigger the signal during printing and send to the server? What signal?
But I suspect the answer to the first question makes the others irrelevant.

How to find cd rom drive in windows and unix platform using java program

Hi,
I am having the requirement of finding the cd rom drive
using java program. I do not know the label and which
one is the cd rom drive. also I want to know how many
cd rom drives are there on my system. I want the solution
for windows and unix platforms.
If have any suggestions please mail to [email protected]
Deepak

Ughhh.. I had the same problem with multi platform file-system detection
First off - Unix.
Do you know for sure you have all your drives mounted?? This could be a big problem because java will not see unmounted drives... So you can scour thru your /etc/fstab to find out which drives are available... or you can mount all and show roots... (Yuck!)... You've got timeouts and all sorts of things to worry about...
I would then shy away from the java.io.File.listRoots() on unix and rely on parsing your fs file. If a user would like to see the medium in the drive. Do a Runtime.exec and mount the drive, then you can grab the filesystem by wrapping it in the java.io.File object. ( NOTE - this will hold well for your NFS mounts as well which might be buried under other FS. So you now have detection for that as well. ) Labels are also noted in this file. Let me know if you don't know the difference between mtab and fstab....
Second - Winders.... Corney but I love saying that.
The listRoots is a good solution. As others have said CD-ROMS will not be writable. Use a combination of getName and getPath to decipher the label and mount point.
Hope this helps!

How to read system eventlog using java program in windows?

How to read system eventlog using java program in windows?
is there any java class available to do this ? or any one having sample code for this?
Your friend Zoe

Hi,
There is no java class for reading event log in windows, so we can do one thing we can use windows system 32 VBS script to read the system log .
The output of this command can be read using java program....
we can use java exec for executing this system32 vbs script.
use the below program and pass the command "eventquery"
plz refer cscript,wscript
import java.io.*;
public class CmdExec {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
try {
String line;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Command");
BufferedReader input =
new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
input.close();
catch (Exception err) {
err.printStackTrace();
This sample program will list all the system log information....
