Class PrinterName is a printing attribute class, a text attribute, that specifies the name of a printer. It is a name that is more end-user friendly than a URI. An administrator determines a printer's name and sets this attribute to that name. This name may be the last part of the printer's URI or it may be unrelated. In non-US-English locales, a name may contain characters that are not allowed in a URI.

IPP Compatibility: The string value gives the IPP name value. The locale gives the IPP natural language. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

Constructs a new printer name attribute with the given name and locale.
Params:
  • printerName – Printer name.
  • locale – Natural language of the text string. null is interpreted to mean the default locale as returned by Locale.getDefault()
Throws:
/** * Constructs a new printer name attribute with the given name and locale. * * @param printerName Printer name. * @param locale Natural language of the text string. null * is interpreted to mean the default locale as returned * by <code>Locale.getDefault()</code> * * @exception NullPointerException * (unchecked exception) Thrown if <CODE>printerName</CODE> is null. */

Returns whether this printer name attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
  1. object is not null.
  2. object is an instance of class PrinterName.
  3. This printer name attribute's underlying string and object's underlying string are equal.
  4. This printer name attribute's locale and object's locale are equal.
Params:
  • object – Object to compare to.
Returns: True if object is equivalent to this printer name attribute, false otherwise.

Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

For class PrinterName, the category is class PrinterName itself.

Returns: Printing attribute class (category), an instance of class java.lang.Class.

Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

For class PrinterName, the category name is "printer-name".

Returns: Attribute category name.
