34 * Class PrinterResolution is a printing attribute class that specifies an
35 * exact resolution supported by a printer or to be used for a print job.
36 * This attribute assumes that printers have a small set of device resolutions
37 * at which they can operate rather than a continuum.
38 * <p>
39 * PrinterResolution is used in multiple ways:
40 * <OL TYPE=1>
41 * <LI>
42 * When a client searches looking for a printer that supports the client's
43 * desired resolution exactly (no more, no less), the client specifies
44 * an instance of class PrinterResolution indicating the exact resolution the
45 * client wants. Only printers supporting that exact resolution will match the
46 * search.
47 * <P>
48 * <LI>
49 * When a client needs to print a job using the client's desired resolution
50 * exactly (no more, no less), the client specifies an instance of class
51 * PrinterResolution as an attribute of the Print Job. This will fail if the
52 * Print Job doesn't support that exact resolution, and Fidelity is set to
53 * true.
54 * </OL>
55 * If a client wants to locate a printer supporting a resolution
56 * greater than some required minimum, then it may be necessary to exclude
57 * this attribute from a lookup request and to directly query the set of
58 * supported resolutions, and specify the one that most closely meets
59 * the client's requirements.
60 * In some cases this may be more simply achieved by specifying a
61 * PrintQuality attribute which often controls resolution.
62 * <P>
63 * <P>
64 * <B>IPP Compatibility:</B> The information needed to construct an IPP
65 * <CODE>"printer-resolution"</CODE> attribute can be obtained by calling
66 * methods on the PrinterResolution object. The category name returned by
67 * <CODE>getName()</CODE> gives the IPP attribute name.
