Class Destination is a printing attribute class, a URI, that is used to
indicate an alternate destination for the spooled printer formatted
data. Many PrintServices will not support the notion of a destination
other than the printer device, and so will not support this attribute.
A common use for this attribute will be applications which want
to redirect output to a local disk file : eg."file:out.prn".
Note that proper construction of "file:" scheme URI instances should
be performed using the toURI()
method of class
File
.
See the documentation on that class for more information.
If a destination URI is specified in a PrintRequest and it is not
accessible for output by the PrintService, a PrintException will be thrown.
The PrintException may implement URIException to provide a more specific
cause.
IPP Compatibility: Destination is not an IPP attribute.
