[PrintService] Pb while printing

[Nicolas Daudin]

Hi there
I have a little problem with my Swing application. I'm trying to print a String to my default printer using PrintService, and it does not work, either from my Mac or my PC.

On my Mac i get the following (and yet nothing is printed)

 20080102 15:22:38  INFO [IncidentFormTextRenderer] DocFlavor Mime-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-16"; class="java.lang.String"
20080102 15:22:39  INFO [IncidentFormTextRenderer] Printer found: 6-OPERA

20080102 15:22:39  INFO [IncidentFormTextRenderer] printJobNoMoreEvents 

On my PC i get the following (same code, same default printer found):

 20080102 15:26:35  INFO [IncidentFormTextRenderer] DocFlavor Mime-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-16"; class="java.lang.String"

As you can see, for the Mac, the printer is found, and it is even said that the job has been printed. BUT nothing is printed. Yet my printer works, i can print something from Word for example.
For the PC i don't understand why the flavor is wrong...

So thanks for any precious help!

Nico.

[abhishek pendkay]

can you post the code that is doing the printing...

What DocFlavour you are using to print.
Have you tried

DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;.If not make you code to include

DocFlavor flavor=DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;

then check it.

Hi,
My code doing the printing is the following:

  DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.STRING.TEXT_PLAIN;
        LOG.info("DocFlavor Mime-Type: " + docFlavor.toString());
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttributes = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        printAttributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        DocAttributeSet attributes = new HashDocAttributeSet();
        attributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
 
        // get the default printer
        PrintService printService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
        LOG.info("Printer found: " + printService.getName());
//        DocFlavor[] flavors = printService.getSupportedDocFlavors();
//        for (DocFlavor flavor : flavors) {
//            LOG.info(flavor.toString());
//        }
 
//        StringReader sr = new StringReader(incidentFormString.toString());
 
        DocPrintJob job = printService.createPrintJob();
        Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(incidentFormString.toString(),
                docFlavor,
                attributes);
 
        job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobListener() {
            public void printDataTransferCompleted(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printDataTransferCompleted");
            }
 
            public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobCompleted");
            }
 
            public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobFailed");
            }
 
            public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobCanceled");
            }
 
            public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobNoMoreEvents");
            }
 
            public void printJobRequiresAttention(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobRequiresAttention");
            }
        });
 

        job.print(doc, printAttributes);
 
        return true;

Hi,
I also have the same problem. There's no error in my program but the printer did not print my document.. please help me.. here is my code:

PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
pras.add(new Copies(1));
pras.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);

String username = "ryanadmin";
String password = "java123";

String input = "Username: " + username + "\n" + "Password: " + password;
//I just want to print a string..

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(input.getBytes());
is = new BufferedInputStream(is);

DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();

PrintService printService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
System.out.println("Printer:" +printService);
PrintService[] services =PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor,das);

DocFlavor[] flavors = printService.getSupportedDocFlavors();
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
System.out.println(flavors[i].toString());
}
DocPrintJob job = printService.createPrintJob();

PrintJobListener pjlistener =new PrintJobAdapter(){

public void printDataTransferCompleted(PrintJobEvent e){
System.out.println("Document sent to printer.");
}

public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent e){
System.out.println("Document was successfully printed.");
}

public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent e){
System.out.println("Document failed to print.");
}

public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent e){
System.out.println("No more print events.");
}

public void printJobRequiresAttention(PrintJobEvent e){
System.out.println("Printer requires attention.");
}
};

job.addPrintJobListener(pjlistener);

Doc doc = new jSimpleDoc(bis, flavor, null);
job.print(doc, pras);


Thanks.. Any comment will be greatly appreciated..

Hey
I'm still working on my problem, so as soon as i find an answer i'll let you know (as a matter of fact i havent had time yet to try what someone suggested me, i.e. put DocFlavor flavor=DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE)...
About your problem, do you have any log regarding your listners? do they print something?

[Nicolas Daudin]

As for me, i still didn't have found the solution...
Ryan, did you find something?

[Nicolas Daudin]

OK i'm moving forward a bit but my config is not helping. I'm usually developing using my Mac but all the users are under PC.
So, seeing all my problems i decided to try this as well on PC. And with the same test code

  DocFlavor[] triedFlavors = {
                DocFlavor.STRING.TEXT_PLAIN,
                DocFlavor.STRING.TEXT_HTML,
                DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE,
                DocFlavor.STRING.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_UTF_8,
                DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_UTF_8,
                DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.STRING.TEXT_PLAIN
 
        };
 
        InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(test.getBytes());
        BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
 
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(new Copies(1));
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
 

        DocAttributeSet docAttributeSet = new HashDocAttributeSet();
        //docAttributeSet.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        for (Attribute attribute : docAttributeSet.toArray()) {
            System.out.println("Attribute Set:" + attribute.toString());
        }
 
        for (DocFlavor flavor : triedFlavors) {
 
            System.out.println("Flavor chosen:" + flavor.toString());
 

            PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, docAttributeSet);
            System.out.println("Available printers for this flavor and this attribute set : " + services.length);
            for (PrintService service : services) {
                System.out.println("Available: " + service.toString());
            }
        }  

I get with my PC:

  Flavor chosen:text/plain; charset="utf-16"; class="java.lang.String"
Available printers for this flavor and this attribute set : 0

I tried DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, but my problem is that my special characters ('�' for example) are not taken into account...
