The Java Printing System enables applications to:
- Print Java 2D� graphics, text and images.
- Control document-composition functions such as soft collating, reverse
order printing, and booklet printing.
- Invoke printer-specific functions such as duplex (two-sided) printing and
stapling.
- Print on all platforms, including Windows and Solaris.
- Data stream generation by platform printer drivers.
My renderer, based on the Java Printing System and Graphics2D: pure Java
does a perfect job. I will send sources, classes, documentation on request
to my e-mail address.
