Class DateTimeAtProcessing is a printing attribute class, a date-time
attribute, that indicates the date and time at which the Print Job first
began processing.
To construct a DateTimeAtProcessing attribute from separate values of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, use a
Calendar object to construct a Date object, then use the Date object to construct the DateTimeAtProcessing attribute. To convert a DateTimeAtProcessing attribute to separate values of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, create a Calendar object and set it to the
Date from the DateTimeAtProcessing attribute.
IPP Compatibility: The information needed to construct an IPP
"date-time-at-processing" attribute can be obtained as described above. The
category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute
name.
