Specify Paper Tray

[mntwinsfan]

Is there anyway to specify the paper tray to use when printing?

I know this might seem out of scope for a linux/macos java library but in my app I support printing in all supported environments in which there is a java runtime including windows. It would be great if the library also implements windows as an operating system by detecting the OS it’s running on and calling windows to replicate the same functionality. You would then be able to write code which is truly OS independent. I specially need to send print jobs (jaserreports) to a user selected print queue.

Something like the following should work. Please give it a try and come back if it does not work for you.

CupsClient client = new CupsClient("localhost", 631);

Map<String,String> attributes = new HashMap<String,String>();
attributes.put("job-attributes", "media:keyword:A4");

PrintJob printJob = new PrintJob.Builder(new FileInputStream("cups4j.ps"))
.userName("user").mediaSource("ManualPaper").attributes(attributes).build();

client.getDefaultPrinter().print(printJob);

As it's not very useful mixing issues I started a new issue to talk about this here:
