VPrinters

java.lang.Object
- com.ibm.as400.vaccess.VPrinters

All Implemented Interfaces:

VNode, VObject, java.io.Serializable, javax.swing.tree.TreeNode

Deprecated.
Use Java Swing instead, along with the classes in package com.ibm.as400.access
```
public class VPrinters
extends java.lang.Object
implements VNode, java.io.Serializable
```
The VPrinters class represents a list of system printers for use in various models and panes in this package.
Both the children and details children of a VPrinters object are the printers (VPrinter objects) in this list.
Most errors are reported as ErrorEvents rather than throwing exceptions. Users should listen for ErrorEvents in order to diagnose and recover from error conditions.
VPrinters objects generate the following events:
- ErrorEvent
- PropertyChangeEvent
- VObjectEvent
- WorkingEvent
