Successful using Java Print Service API on Windows 32 Platform

Hello,
Using the JSP API supplied with JDK1.4, I was able to print successfully the following types of documents :
1. Text
2. GIF, JPG... (images)
3. PostScript files.
But could not print "HTML" files. THe problem is that the HTML files are getting printed as text files with all the HTML tags.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks
TJ

You will need to load the html into something that can render html. The printer doesn't know how to do it. It just sees plain text that you are sending. Try using JTextPane or JEditorPane (I think). It can render html files for you. Then just print that component.
1) Create JEditorPane or JTextPane.
2) Set contents of pane as the html file or string you want to print.
3) Use the Graphics2D API to adjust the component coordinate space to the printer coordinate space.
4) Render the component (JEditorPane or JTextPane) on the printer.
There is a very nice tutorial for printing components here: http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-Printing.html.
Hope this helps.

Java Print Service API in Java Stored Procedure (Linux)

Hi
We are running an Oracle 10g database on Linux and I am in the proces of developing a java stored procedure which should utilize the Java Print Service API.
I have made a simple stored procedure to list all available printers and the DocFlavors they support (se the code below).
My problem is that no printers are listed. I have made a standalone java app. with the same code and executed it directly on the OS level of the Linux box through the Sun JDK 1.4.2 and here I get two printers.
Is there any specific configuration I need to do to make it work?
I am wondering if I need to grant specific authorisations through dbms_java for it to work...?
Any help is greatlyh appreciated.

Found this on Oracle support:
Cannot List Available Printers From The Database Using A Java Stored Procedure [ID 372694.1]
Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.1.0.4.0
This problem can occur on any platform.
Symptoms
Able to list available printers on a machine when running Java code outside the Database.
When running the same Java code inside the Database as a Java Stored Procedure, no printers are found.
Cause
Due to security restrictions, this is expected results.
The Java Docs state:
"Services which are registered by registerService(PrintService) will not be included in lookup
results if a security manager is installed and its CheckPrintJobAccess() method denies access."
Also from the documentation it states:
"A PrintServiceLookup implementor is recommended to check for the SecurityManager.checkPrintJobAccess() to deny access to untrusted code. Following this recommended policy means that untrusted code may not be able to locate any print services. Downloaded applets are the most common example of untrusted code."
Using the checkPrintJobAccess(); call, it does produce a Security Exception when run inside the Database but not when run outside. The exception can be viewed within the log file found in the UDUMP directory.
Solution
Run the following code to confirm obtaining available __printers can not be done...__
This is the code to create the Java Stored Procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE AND RESOLVE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "ListPrinters" AS
import javax.print.*;
public class ListPrinters {
public static String AvailablePrinters(){
String strList;
PrintService[] pservices =PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null,null);
if (pservices.length > 0 )
strList = pservices[0].getName();
else
strList = "No printers found";
return strList;
public static String listprinters() throws Exception {
String listofprinters;
try {
SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
if (sm != null) sm.checkPrintJobAccess();
catch (SecurityException ex) {
System.err.println("Sorry. Printing is not allowed.");
listofprinters = AvailablePrinters();
return listofprinters;
This is the PL/SQL Wrapper
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Get_Printer_Test RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'ListPrinters.listprinters() return String';
This executes the code
SQL> SELECT Get_Printer_Test FROM DUAL;
GET_PRINTER_TEST
No printers found
This is the output found in the trace file in the UDUMP directory
*** SESSION ID:(144.28) 2006-07-08 09:02:25.518
Sorry. Printing is not allowed.

Turn off banner within Java Print Service API

I have web services running on JBoss 4.0.5, which is running on IBM AIX 5.
The issue I have is anytime I try to print something through Java Print Service within web services, there is always a banner, even though banner property is set to "never" on the print queue with AIX smitty. The bad news is that property value can be overwritten by applications, or by command line options with lp or lpr commands.
Couldn't find any way or any attribute avaiable in Print Service API to diable banner printing. Currently only default attributes are used in document printing.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks for answering,
Yes i totally agree with you. There is a per device basis. However you could think (and here i am letting my imagination fly) about categorizing devices, lets say all the digital cameras. Although it would still be per-device basis, some would have common commands like turn on, or turn off. Don't you think so?
Now lets take a simple example, can a Java program turn off the computer where its running?
Thanks in advance,
FernandoDo I think all digital cameras expose an "on/off" API? No, I don't. Some may, they all may, but that's in no way a Java issue.
Can a Java program turn off a PC? No. It can call native code to do so, but then it isn't Java doing the work. All of what you're talking about is very much platform-specific, and that's where Java is generally it's weakest

Printing chinese w/ Java Print Service API become garbled characters

I'm using XP platform and I've a plain text file on my drive.
Now, what I want to do is, to read the text file in, then print it, that's all.
However, the printout become messy, just some garbled characters.
I did try to change quite a different ways to read the file, but the printout is still messy.
Is there anything wrong? Can somebody give me a help?

For #1, indeed, it's my overlook, I've corrected it already.
For #2, it shows, java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1.
It's mainly because my printer do not support this flavor.
My printer supports only:
image/gif
[B OR java.io.InputStream OR java.net.URL
image/jpeg
[B OR java.io.InputStream java.net.URL
image/png
[B OR java.io.InputStream OR java.net.URL
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref
java.awt.print.Pageable OR java.awt.print.Printable
application/octet-stream
[B OR java.net.URL OR java.io.InputStream
Up to now, still no solution to it. Anybody help.

if anyone knows please help me..
thanks

You can't. You must upgrade your SDK to 1.4

So anybody konwing this plz reply

This is covered pretty well in the Java Print Service API Guide.
You could start here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/jps/spec/printing.fm1.html
Basically, you have two choices - either you're going to throw a document at the print service, or you're going to print using Graphics2D commands. You also have the choice between printing to a printer, or to a stream. Mix and match for four combinations.
Whether you can just take a raw document and send it to a printer via the document printing stuff depends on what print services you have installed. For the standard J2SE, it's pretty limited.
If you're doing it via the Graphics2D approach, however, you can print anything you can draw. That's nice - it means you can use the same code to display stuff on the screen and print it.

Does java print service support word docs or text files

Can anyone tell me that java print service api allows to print word doc files or RTF files etc.

no it doesn't.
To print a Word Doc you need to be able to read it, and display it.
Anything that can be displayed in, say a JPanel, can be printed, cos it's just a matter of displaying the
image to a virtual component ( a print canvas ). Which then gets printed.
So, because Java doesn't immediately support Ms Docs, neither does the print service.

Which method implementation of Pageable interface should return the page number ?w.r.t. your first question: don't return that number but return page n-1-i when page i is requested; your document will be printed in reverse order. Your class should implement the entire interface and wrap the original Pageable. (for that number n your class can consult the wrapped interface; read the API for the Pageable interface).

Printing a microsoft word doc using Java Print API

Hi,
I have to print a microsoft word doc.I am using Java Print API, but the code is printing only Hashcodes instead of the actual document.
Here is the code. Please let me know whats wrong in it.
CODE:::
public String print() throws Exception {
String realPath = getRealPath("/images/formLibrary/csaAddressContactRequestForm100.doc");
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras1 = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor1 = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintService defaultService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis1 = new FileInputStream(realPath);
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc1 = new SimpleDoc(fis1, flavor1, das);
job.print(doc1, pras1);
Thread.sleep(10000);
System.exit(0);
return "";
}

By using an appropriate library. JText, whatever.
Google, man.I think Rene meant iText!Whatever. :) Never used it, I just remembered there was something named like that. Thanks.

Java Print Service - PDF

I want to use the Java Print Service(JPS) API to programatically send
PDF files to a printer. I need to send these files to the printer
without any user intervention.
At present i am trying to print on HP Laserjet 5100 series.
I am able to print text files,Images (Jpeg) but have not been successfull in printing
PDF files.
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF;
DocFlavor flavor =new DocFlavor("application/pdf", "java.io.InputStream");
The error I recieve is "Invalid Flavor". I have tried sending the PDF to the
printer using a Document Flavor of INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE.
I also tried with
DocFlavor flavor =new DocFlavor("application/octet-stream", "java.io.InputStream");
When I do
this the PDF file gets sent to the printer but what actually gets
printed is garbage (control characters, overtyping, etc...).
It appears the printer does not directly support PDF printing. The
interesting thing is that I if I bring up a PDF file using Adobe Reader
and press the Print button the file does get printed successfully!
Can someone help me explain why Adobe Reader can print the file
successfully but I am unable to do it programattically? Can someone
suggest a different approach to take?.
Regards,
Raghu

I suspect that it is because Adobe Reader isn't trying to print using the printer's non-existent PDF support. It is probably just sending generic image data to the printer as you would if you were printing Java 2D graphics using JPS.

Printing HTML with Java Printing Service(JDK1.4 beta)

Hi there!
I'm currently checking out the new Java Printing Service (JPS) in the new JDK1.4 beta. This looks like a very promising printing API, with amongst others printer discovery and support for MIME types - but I have some problems with printing HTML displayed in a JEditorPane.
I'm developing an application that should let the user edit a (HTML)document displayed in a JEditorPane and the print this document to a printer. I have understood that this should be peace-of-cake using the JPS which has pre-defined HTML DocFlavor amongst others, in fact here is what Eric Armstrong says on Javaworld (http://www.javaworld.com/javaone01/j1-01-coolapis.html):
"With JPS, data formats are specified using MIME types, for example: image/jpeg, text/plain, and text/html. Even better, the API includes a formatting engine that understands HTML, and an engine that, given a document that implements the Printable or Pageable interface, generates PostScript. The HTML formatting engine looks particularly valuable given the prevalence of XML data storage. You only need to set up an XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) stylesheet, use it to convert the XML data to HTML, and send the result to the printer."
After one week of reasearch I have not been able to do what Armstrong describes; print a String that contains text of MIME type text/html.
I have checked the supported MIMI types of the Print Service returned by PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService(). This is the result:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.GIF;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);

As you can see there is no support for text/html here.
If anyone has a clue to what I'm missing here or any other (elegant, simple) way to print the contents of a JEditorPane, please speak up!

Since you have 'printable' as one of your flavors, try this using a JTextPane (assuming you can dump your HTML into a JTextPane, which shouldn't be a big problem)...
1. Have your JTextPane implement Printable
ie. something like this:
public class FormattedDocument extends JTextPane implements Printable 2. Read your HTML into the associated doc in the text pane.
3. Implement the printable interface, since you have it as one of your available flavors (I'd imagine everybody has printable in their available flavors). Something like this:
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2.translate((int)pf.getImageableX(), (int)pf.getImageableY());
        g2.setClip(0, 0, (int)pf.getImageableWidth(), (int)pf.getImageableHeight());
        if (pageIndex == 0)
            setupPrintView(pf);
        if (!pv.paintPage(g2, pageIndex))
            return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
        return PAGE_EXISTS;
    }Here's my setupPrintView function, which is executed once on page 0 (which still needs some polishing in case I want to start from page 5). It sets up a 'print view' class based on the root view of the document. PrintView class follows...
public void setupPrintView(PageFormat pf) {
View root = this.getUI().getRootView(this);
        pv = new PrintView(this.getStyledDocument().getDefaultRootElement(), root,
                           (int)pf.getImageableWidth(), (int)pf.getImageableHeight());Note of obvious: 'pv' is of type PrintView.
Here's my PrintView class that paints your text pane line by line, a page at a time, until there is no more.
class PrintView extends BoxView
    public PrintView(Element elem, View root, int w, int h) {
        super(elem, Y_AXIS);
        setParent(root);
        setSize(w, h);
        layout(w, h);
    public boolean paintPage(Graphics2D g2, int pageIndex) {
        int viewIndex = getTopOfViewIndex(pageIndex);
        if (viewIndex == -1) return false;
        int maxY = getHeight();
        Rectangle rc = new Rectangle();
        int fillCounter = 0;
        int Ytotal = 0;
        for (int k = viewIndex; k < getViewCount(); k++) {
            rc.x = 0;
            rc.y = Ytotal;
            rc.width = getSpan(X_AXIS, k);
            rc.height = getSpan(Y_AXIS, k);
            if (Ytotal + getSpan(Y_AXIS, k) > maxY) break;
            paintChild(g2, rc, k);
            Ytotal += getSpan(Y_AXIS, k);
        return true;
// find top of page for a given page number
    private int getTopOfViewIndex(int pageNumber) {
        int pageHeight = getHeight() * pageNumber;
        for (int k = 0; k < getViewCount(); k++)
            if (getOffset(Y_AXIS, k) >= pageHeight) return k;
        return -1;
}That's my 2 cents. Any questions?

Error: 0x80073701 when trying to add Print Services Role in Windows 2012 Standard

Hello,
I'm getting an error when trying to add Print Services role in Windows 2012 Standard. I'm getting the same error whether I use the GUI or from PowerShell.
This is a new server install.
The PowerShell error follows:

Any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I think you should start with chkdsk C: /F and sfc /scannow.

System.out.println(pe.toString());
Thanks

Looks like a runtime CLASSPATH problem...
Try to include this code in your main, and check that the version is the same as the one expected:
System.out.println("JAVA VERSION IS: " + System.getProperty("java.version"));
