Class
Destination
is a printing attribute class, a
URI
, that is used to indicate an alternate destination for the spooled printer formatted data. Many
PrintServices
will not support the notion of a destination other than the printer device, and so will not support this attribute.
A common use for this attribute will be applications which want to redirect output to a local disk file : eg."file:out.prn". Note that proper construction of "file:" scheme URI
instances should be performed using the toURI()
method of class File
. See the documentation on that class for more information.
If a destination URI
is specified in a PrintRequest and it is not accessible for output by the PrintService
, a PrintException
will be thrown. The PrintException
may implement URIException
to provide a more specific cause.
IPP Compatibility: Destination is not an IPP attribute.
