Class RPrinterList

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable
    Deprecated. 
    Use PrinterList instead, as this package may be removed in the future.

    public class RPrinterList
extends SystemResourceList
    The RPrinterList class represents a list of printers that are attached to the system. The following selection IDs are supported:

    Use one or more of these selection IDs with getSelectionValue() and setSelectionValue() to access the selection values for an RPrinterList.

    RPrinterList objects generate RPrinter objects. 

    // Create an RPrinterList object to represent a list of printers.
AS400 system = new AS400("MYSYSTEM", "MYUSERID", "MYPASSWORD");
RPrinterList printerList = new RPrinterList(system);

    
// Set the selection so that only printers which are selecting
// spooled files from the listed output queues are included
// in the list.
printerList.setSelectionValue(RPrinterList.OUTPUT_QUEUES,
                              new String[] { "/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYOUTQ1.OUTQ1",
                                             "/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYOUTQ2.OUTQ2" });

    
// Open the list and wait for it to complete.
printerList.open();
printerList.waitForComplete();

    
// Read and print the device names and statuses
// for the printers in the list.
long numberOfPrinters = printerList.getListLength();
for(long i = 0; i < numberOfPrinters; ++i)
{
    RPrinter printer = (RPrinter)printerList.resourceAt(i);
    System.out.println(printer.getAttributeValue(RPrinter.DEVICE_NAME));
    System.out.println(printer.getAttributeValue(RPrinter.DEVICE_STATUS));
    System.out.println();
}

    
// Close the list.
printerList.close();
