      • getPageResolution

        public abstract int getPageResolution​()
        Returns the resolution of the page in pixels per inch. Note that this doesn't have to correspond to the physical resolution of the printer.

        public abstract boolean lastPageFirst​()
        Returns true if the last page will be printed first.

      • end

        public abstract void end​()
        Ends the print job and does any necessary cleanup.
      • finalize

        @Deprecated(since="9")
        public void finalize​()
        Deprecated. The finalize method has been deprecated. Subclasses that override finalize in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms and to remove the overriding finalize method. When overriding the finalize method, its implementation must explicitly ensure that super.finalize() is invoked as described in Object.finalize(). See the specification for Object.finalize() for further information about migration options.
        Ends this print job once it is no longer referenced.
        Overrides:
        finalize in class Object
