I am currently implementing some printing functionality for our app and found a number of limitations with javax.print.PrintService.
For example: - the attributes PrinterMakeAndModel and PrinterInfo never seem to provide any information - there is no ServiceUIFactory available for any of my print services - setting Chromaticity to monochrome still produces color prints on our color laser printer (and I can select color mode for our black and white printer) - the PrintQuality attribute never seems to be supported All these limitations are not really severe, but since I have to implement our own print dialog amyway, I am wondering if they will be fixed in future or if they are simply a result of the way java accesses the OS print services. In the last case I could simply omit some options in our print dialog. My two simple questions are: Do these limitations only exist on some systems? And is there are chance that (some of) the limitations of PrintService will be fixed in Java 7 or 8?
