print

public void print(java.lang.Object job)
           throws PdfException,
                  java.awt.print.PrinterException,
                  java.io.IOException

Prints the current document to the default printerjob. the process is silent and does NOT show the print preference dialog.

PrintRequestAttributeSet attr = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
attr.add(new Copies(2));
attr.add(Sides.DUPLEX); attr.add(PrintQuality.HIGH);
attr.add(SheetCollate.COLLATED);
attr.add(OrientationRequested.PORTRAIT);

Parameters:

job - either a javax.print.DocPrintJob or a java.awt.PrinterJob

Throws:

PdfException - pdf generation issues

java.awt.print.PrinterException - issue with the printer

java.io.IOException - io issue

print

public void print(java.lang.Object job,
                  java.lang.Object printRequestAttributeSet)
           throws PdfException,
                  java.awt.print.PrinterException,
                  java.io.IOException

Prints the current document to the given printerjob using attributes. the silentPrinting flag tells if the process shows the print preference dialog.

this method is typically called as follows:
print(java.awt.PrinterJob, javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet);
or
print(javax.print.DocPrintJob, javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet);

The parameters are generic to help support different JDK versions.

Parameters:

job - either a javax.print.DocPrintJob or a java.awt.PrinterJob

printRequestAttributeSet - must have type javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet which is only available on JDK 1.5+. It is left as an Object for backward compatibility. leave null if not used. It is used to force printer attribute properties, typically the number of copies, the page orientation and/or any special attributes supported by the printer.

Throws:

PdfException - pdf generation issues

java.awt.print.PrinterException - issue with the printer

java.io.IOException - io issue
