Google Cloud Print (GCP) API for Java
Document : https://developers.google.com/cloud-print/
There are two ways to do that:
- Load printer capabilities and create an XML(XPS format) file using Windows API. Ex.: Using "PrintQueue" class --> GetPrintCapabilitiesAsXml.WriteTo(file)
- Obtaining the PPD file of the PostScript printer. Uploading one of these files, GCP was able to understand the printer capabilities.
