PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices() issues
We deploy and run JBoss 5.1.0GA on windows 2003.The JBoss is running as window service.
On the machine, we configure two printers:
1. network printer
2. a shared printer on another Window XP machine.
PrintService[] printServices = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
The result did not include the shared printer, but the network printer only.
Outside jboss on the same Windows 2003 machine,
PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices()
returns the two printers correctly.
We post a thread on JBoss forum:
http://community.jboss.org/message/8748#8748
and got a reply: JBoss does nothing with printing.
Thanks for help.

If you are using Linux (and probably other unices) you have to grant read/write-Permissions to /tmp in .java.policy.
line:
permission java.io.FilePermission "/tmp/*", "read,write";

PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices() returns no PrintServices on Solaris 10
I am using a third-party PDF Java print API that uses the Java Print API. The API is used in a WebLogic 10.2 server runtime environment. My problem is that after the server has been running for a day or so, the API is no longer able to see the printers that are set up on a local print server. Issuing lpstat -a from the command line returns all of the printers as does a simple java app that I run from the command line. I have written a simple JSP page to dump out the available PrintServices so I can check to see what's available in the server runtime environment and after a day or so there are none.
The application runs in a cluster and the PrintServices show up just fine on one of the nodes, but the second node is the one that always has a problem. It's not making a lot of sense at this point but any insight into what would cause PrintServices to suddenly become unnoticed by the Java Print API in runtime would be very helpful!
Here is the code from the JSP that checks for the PrintServices:
Available Printers:<br/>
*<ul>*
*<%*
*// List printers*
javax.print.PrintService [] ps = java.awt.print.PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
for (int count = 0; count < ps.length; ++count)
*%>*
*<li><b><%=ps [count].getName()%></b> (PrintService class: <%=ps [count].getClass().getName()%>)</li>*
*<%*
*%>*
*</ul>*Thanks fro the reply.
The system is a T2000(sparc). This server provides CDE desktop to 200s users and is running Citrix Presentation Server. I guess Citirx has its own X server? because I found the xsun process when I checked another sparc server not running Citrix Presentation Server:
# ps -ef|grep -i xsun |grep -v grep
root 682 671 1 Nov 27 ? 2:13 /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -defdepth 24 -nobanner -auth /var/dt/A:0-xNa4tb
My another question is why the:
/var/svc/manifest/application/x11/x11-server.xml
is not imported to SMF like xfs is?

PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices long wait
Hi everyone,
I have an applet which load all printers to choose one. In some case, method PrintService[] service = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices(); take 5 minutes to return a result !
I've just got one local printer... is anyone have a solution ?
(same problem with jre 5 or 6)
Thanks a lotI ordered an Extreme Base Station and custom configured MacPro with X1900 XT, BT and Airport card both on 7 August... the Base Station shipped 9 August and just arrived, and the MacPro shipped on 14-August as is still in transit (takes a few days longer to get to Canada).

LookupPrintservices() gives default printer name alone...
Hello,
There are four printers in the network..operating system is LINUX ..when i run the program its showing only the default printer.
If i restart the cups service ,then its showing all the options.Why is it
so....
So each time when i open the application ,i have to restart the cups..Is this is right way?
Is there is any other optimistic way to show the printer options.
Following code
public static void main(String arg[])
PrintService[] services = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
for(int i = 0 ;i < services.length;i++) {
System.out.println(i+":"+services.getName());
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
if (printerJob.printDialog())
System.out.println("Printer is There... ");
PrintService service = printerJob.getPrintService();
System.out.println("printer Name = " +printerJob.getPrintService().getName());
Please help me to solve this....Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rithi_megaaOK now it really doesn't make sense. Your code is exporting which has nothing to do with printing from the viewer...
So, create your own Print Button and handle the file name yourself then you can call it anything you want and it gets printed from the export file name. If that third party PDF printer driver has an API available then you could populate the name there.
Use your line of code: FileDest.DiskFileName = TextBox2.Text.ToString + " - Postage Report.pdf"
to set the file name for that PDF Printer.
Sorry it's really not clear what you are trying to do...

Print: pageDialog will not open in some cases
Hi,
i have problems with my print code...Normaly a page dialog comes up, but not in all cases. The printer i have the problem is a network printer set a default in the win xp printer dialog.
The program is shipped already (in version 4!) to several customers and i have only 2 calls from not working printers...The printers are all new ones:
HP DeskJet 5940
Brother HL 1670N
The program uses the jre 1.4.2
Heres my code:
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
Book bk = new Book();
PageFormat pform = job.defaultPage();
Paper page = new Paper();
page.setSize(595, 841);
page.setImageableArea(28.349, 28.349, 538.29, 784.28);
pform.setPaper(page);
pform.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
pform = job.pageDialog(pform);
//here i add the pages...
job.setPageable(bk);
if (job.printDialog()) {
try {
job.setJobName("jobname");
job.print();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.err.println(ex.toString());
}//catch
}//ifThats it, nothing special. I also tried following with an extra program:
PrintService[] services = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
for(int i=0;i<services.length;i++) {
System.out.println(services.getName());
With that code, the printer will be listed. So i think there must be an other problem, but what......
Can anyone give me some tipps?
Thanks!
Best regards
MatthiasJust to update everyone... Firmware Version 1.01.36 Build 3 does not fix the PPTP issues with the WRT600N router.

Unable to specify printer for print jobs in Java7 for OSX
Hi, I'm developing a simple software that would monitor a folder for new documents and print them automatically. Monitoring the folder was the easy part with WatchService in Java7, but I'm running into problems with printing. Namely, I'm using java.awt.print.PrinterJob to print the document, but the print job is always sent to the default printer, instead of the printer that was specified.
PrinterJob pPrinterJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PrintService[] psArr = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
for (PrintService ps : psArr) {
if (ps.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(specifiedPrinterName)) {
pPrinterJob.setPrintService(ps);
break;
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
//specify print attributes....
pPrinterJob.print(pras);
The code looks simple enough, and calling getPrinterService() returns the intended printer after specifying it using setPrinterService(). However, regardless of the printer specified, the print job is still sent to the default printer. Tried on both Java 7 Update 4 and Update 6 for OSX with the same result.
Update: Got my hands on a Win XP machine and tried out the same piece of code using Java 7 Update 6 for Windows. Guess what, the print job was sent to the specified printer! I'm pretty sure this is an OSX specific issue now. Has anyone come across this issue previously?Hi,
I have the exact same problem on OS X 10.8.2 with Java 1.7.0 Update 21.
When I call PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null) I get three distinct printers, but no matter which of the three I specify, the print job is sent to the default printer.
The code works as expected when tested on Windows and Linux machines.
Any help is appreciated! -
Weblogic 10.3 ---- PrintService class is not finding printers
Hi folks,
Am facing an issue in Weblogic 10.3. I have deployed my application which prints the pdf files.
When i am getting print services available in my machine using
*PrintService[] printService =
PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices(); *
its returning printService.length as *0*.
But the same application is working fine in other environments like Oracle Soa Suite 10.1.3.3 and Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3.
Can anybody please suggest on this.
Please find the Sample Code:
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
import javax.print.PrintService;
import org.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
public class PrintPdf {
public void print(String printerName, String pdfFile) {
PDDocument document = null;
try {
document = PDDocument.load(pdfFile);
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
boolean printerFound = false;
PrintService[] printService = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
System.out.println("printService length: " + printService.length); //* printService.length is returning 0 *
for (int i = 0; i < printService.length; i++) {
System.out.println(i + "==> printService Name: " +
printService.getName());
if (printService[i].getName().indexOf(printerName) != -1) {
printJob.setPrintService(printService[i]);
printerFound = true;
System.out.println("Got Printer");
if (!printerFound) {
System.out.println("Printer Not found");
} else {
printJob.setPageable(document);
printJob.print();
System.out.println("Print Successfull");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();Thanks for your help.

Using device fonts for printing
Hello,
I was wondering how to use device fonts in Java. These are the fonts that are in the printer and not in the operating system.
I'm writing some point of sale software that needs to use the Star TSP100 printer on Windows 7 64.
I need to use the device font "control" in order to instruct the printer to open the cash drawer.
I would also like to use the device font "3of9" for barcodes. I know there are alternatives to using this, but directly from the printer would be easier than trying to purchase and deploy a barcode font.
I know that star micronics has a JPOS implementation, but not for windows 7 64. And the JPOS with the StarMicronics bin is cumbersome and unstable for the end user even in Windows XP 32 bit.
If I specify the font "control" java replaces it with the default font. i.e. Font deviceFont = new Font ("control", Font.PLAIN, 8.5); is just the default font and not "control"I did find a solution to my problem, but I cannot use device fonts. You may also find this useful to address your issue. I opened the a print service and sent ASCII to it instead of creating and printing a graphic object. You'll need the [Command Emulator STAR Line Mode Command Specifications|http://www.star-micronics.co.jp/eng/service/usermanual/comemu_starline_pm.pdf] to know what the commands are for the TSP100 and TSP700. I've included a cheat sheet to find the HEX value of the ASCII command. Note that if you need to send several characters you'll need to use the space with it.
e.g. The command to select font is ESC RS F you'll need to send: 1B201E2046

Print JTable with Multiple pages and rows
I took the printing example at http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/advprint.html#pe and modified it a bit to include the following:
1) To Print Multiple pages
2) To wrap lines that is too long for the column
3) To print with a more proffesional style, so that it doesn't look like a screen capture is printed
4) To align the numbers to the right and center column headings

Problem in printing pdf document with java code
Hi All
I want to print a pdf document with java code i have used PDFRenderer.jar to compile my code.
Code:
File f = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/123/Desktop/1241422767.pdf");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel();
ByteBuffer bb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, fc.size());
PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(bb); // Create PDF Print Page
PDFPrintPage pages = new PDFPrintPage(pdfFile);
// Create Print Job
PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage();
pjob.setJobName(f.getName());
Book book = new Book();
book.append(pages, pf, pdfFile.getNumPages());
pjob.setPageable(book);
// System.out.println(pjob.getPrintService());
// Send print job to default printer
pjob.print();
but when i am running my program i am getting error
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.print.PrinterException: Invalid name of PrintService.
Please anybody, knows the solution for this error?
Thanks In Advance
IndiraIt seems that either there is no default printer setup or you have too many printers or no printer setup at all. Try running the following code. It should print the list of available print services.
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.*;
public class PrintServiceNames{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
PrintService[] printServices = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
int i;
for (i = 0; i < printServices.length; i++) {
System.out.println("P: " + printServices);
}From the list pick one of the print service names and set it explicitly like "printerJob.setPrintService(printServices);" and then try running the program. -
Cannot print a simple Text File

import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
public class TestPrint
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("pds.txt"));
byte[] fileByte = new byte[34];
int read = 0;
int counter = 0;
while((read = fis.read()) != -1)
fileByte[counter++] = (byte)read;
PrintService services[] = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
aset.add(new Copies(1));
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fileByte, flavor, null);
DocPrintJob pj = services[0].createPrintJob();
pj.print(doc, aset);
}The file I am trying to print is a simple text file. My requirement is to convert it to an array of bytes and then print it.
However I get the exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: data is not of de
clared type

Please help me. I would appriciate any help in this matter.
regards,

PS: The contents of the file (pds.txt) which I am trying to print is

pdsHi,
you get a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException in line 25:
So we take the Java API for SimpleDoc:
IllegalArgumentException - if flavor or printData is null, or the printData does not correspond to the specified doc flavor--for example, the data is not of the type specified as the representation in the DocFlavor.
Since fileByte seems not the be null, the type must be wrong!
In line 21 we see:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII;
so fileByte must be type java.io.InputStream, which it isn�t. This causes your IllegalArgumentException.
So try in line 21:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII;
Let me know if that was the reason!
Best regards

Print to network printer on Headless Unix box
Hi
I have written an app which prints an image on the default printer of a headless unix box.
I have been told that if I which to extend my app to print my document to a named network printer, I will need to get additional software. Is this true?I think you want PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices. Find the PrintService you want and create a PrinterJob from that.

hi
I am making application which is to be used to print barcodes. Now the problem is.... we are to support only a particular vendor for printing. So now how can i find out if the correct printer(barcode printer) is attached to the machine and not the other ordinary one. I get a list of printer names when i run
PrintService[] services = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
but this gives the list of names that are given to printers in control panel/printer folder (if names changed in that folder the list also changes) so i am finding a method that will give me the vendor name or device name given to the printer by the vendor...how can i do it ....any help appreciated..
THANKS

That seems to be a common error and seems to be mostly associated with HP printers.
I found any number of people asking about it, for many different makes and models. No one seemed to have a solution, though.
Try resetting the printing system. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
I notice that item is for 10.6. I'm using 10.5.8. Also, it seems like a drastic solution.
Try adding the printer when logged in to an administrator's account rather than your standard account.
I tried that first. I even downloaded new copies of the editor and the printer drivers. But the printer didn't appear in the list. Oops. I just realized I didn't use the shown command suggested earlier, to fix the permissions. Gotta do that.

Need information about location of printer
hello,
I need to get all informations (like status, location, type and comment) about a selected printer. I used PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices() to read all available printer.
how can i get all this information under windows xp ?This question isnt easy to answer for us. The answer depends on your business case. I recommend to watch this video http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/AngelsInTheArchitecture/AngelsInTheArchitecture.html where Chris Muir covers your question.
