• Interface Summary 

  Interface	Description
  AttributeException	Interface AttributeException is a mixin interface which a subclass of PrintException can implement to report an error condition involving one or more printing attributes that a particular Print Service instance does not support.
  CancelablePrintJob	This interface is used by a printing application to cancel a print job.
  Doc	Interface Doc specifies the interface for an object that supplies one piece of print data for a Print Job.
  DocPrintJob	This interface represents a print job that can print a specified document with a set of job attributes.
  FlavorException	Interface FlavorException is a mixin interface which a subclass of PrintException can implement to report an error condition involving a doc flavor or flavors (class DocFlavor).
  MultiDoc	Interface MultiDoc specifies the interface for an object that supplies more than one piece of print data for a Print Job.
  MultiDocPrintJob	Obtained from a MultiDocPrintService, a MultiDocPrintJob can print a specified collection of documents as a single print job with a set of job attributes.
  MultiDocPrintService	Interface MultiPrintService is the factory for a MultiDocPrintJob.
  PrintService	Interface PrintService is the factory for a DocPrintJob.
  URIException	Interface URIException is a mixin interface which a subclass of PrintException can implement to report an error condition involving a URI address.

• Class Summary 

  Class	Description
  DocFlavor	Class DocFlavor encapsulates an object that specifies the format in which print data is supplied to a DocPrintJob.
  DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY	Class DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a byte array (byte[]) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY	Class DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a character array (char[]) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM	Class DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a byte stream (java.io.InputStream) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.READER	Class DocFlavor.READER provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a character stream (java.io.Reader) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED	Class DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors for service formatted print data.
  DocFlavor.STRING	Class DocFlavor.STRING provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a string (java.lang.String) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.URL	Class DocFlavor.URL provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects.
  PrintServiceLookup	Implementations of this class provide lookup services for print services (typically equivalent to printers) of a particular type.
  ServiceUI	This class is a collection of UI convenience methods which provide a graphical user dialog for browsing print services looked up through the Java Print Service API.
  ServiceUIFactory	Services may optionally provide UIs which allow different styles of interaction in different roles.
  SimpleDoc	This class is an implementation of interface Doc that can be used in many common printing requests.
  StreamPrintService	This class extends PrintService and represents a print service that prints data in different formats to a client-provided output stream.
  StreamPrintServiceFactory	A StreamPrintServiceFactory is the factory for StreamPrintService instances, which can print to an output stream in a particular document format described as a mime type.

• Exception Summary 

  Exception	Description
  PrintException	Class PrintException encapsulates a printing-related error condition that occurred while using a Print Service instance.
