Windows support

[harwey]

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.

Actually Cups4J is not a Linux/MacOS library. It just implements some IPP and some CUPS features to make it easy to print and check print job and printer state from Java.

As you can find in the Web Windows is also said to support IPP. If you manage to get IPP working on your Windows server it should be just no problem to print on this server with Cups4J.
For example here (sorry german) : http://www.serverhowto.de/Windows-als-Druckserver-mit-dem-Internet-Printing-Protocol.86.0.html you can find instructions how to get this running.

Give it a try and come back with your results if you like.
