Question

I am trying to use Java Print Services for sending print jobs to printers automatically but its quickly turning into a nightmare. Coming to the problem at hand, here is the code:

DocAttributeSet docAset = new HashDocAttributeSet();
                docAset.add(MediaSizeName.NA_LETTER);
                Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(book, psInFormat, docAset);
                PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
                aset.add(new JobName("Test Job Name", null));
                aset.add(MediaSizeName.NA_LETTER);
                aset.add(Sides.ONE_SIDED);
                aset.add(Fidelity.FIDELITY_TRUE);

//                new JobState()
                DocPrintJob job = services[8].createPrintJob();
                try {
                    job.print(myDoc, aset);
    //System.out.println(" Thread " + this.getId() + ": Envío de impresión OK");
                } catch (PrintException ex) {
                    Logger.getLogger(PrototypeMain2.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                }

This code is ignoring the media size completely and printing to the default A4 size paper.

Any helps here is very much appreciated.

Answer 1

Seems like the printer is taking the default paper based on the preferences I set, so if I set the preferences to use letter size it asks for a letter size page, by default it will print on A4 size paper.
