Introduction
The Java Print
Service (JPS) is a Java Print API that is designed to support
printing on all Java platforms, including platforms requiring a
small footprint, but also supports the current Java Print
API. This unified Java Print API includes extensible print
attributes based on the standard attributes specified in the
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) 1.1 from the IETF Specification,
RFC 2911. With the attributes, client and server applications can
discover and select printers that have the capabilities specified
by the attributes. In addition to the included StreamPrintService,
which allows applications to transcode print data to different
formats, a third party can dynamically install their own print
services through the Service Provider Interface.
