Printing in Java

[BrownZeus]

Hi friends,

 

I'm having a quite frustrating F**KING time trying to accomplish this ONE SIMPLE F**KING task.

So I apologize in advance if I come off rude, disrespectful, or aggressive.

 

All I want to do is send a PDF file to Print, with specific settings (Just setting the Page Orientation to Landscape, Using the Java Print API)

 

I've followed dozens of tutorials, copied test code line for line just to see if I myself was missing something AND NONE OF THE CRAP ONLINE IS WORKING. 

 

I'm just trying to get a test program to freaking work so I can use the code in a later project I have planned.

 

So if someone can provide me a test program, with in-line comments that spell everything out cause apparently I'm stupid as all hell, that would be nice.

 

The project I have planned will also be using Apache PDFBox, and I already know the Java Print API (javax.print) will be involved.

If it wasn't already obvious, the lanuage I'm using it Java.

 

Any and all help is sincerely Appreciated.

start with the example at the bottom of the api and then ask specific questions where it doesn't behave as intended. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/print/package-summary.html

Just to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong, in the first try block, I can replace "file.ps" with the path to my test file correct?

Ok so I've modified the example code to fit the file path needed, and altered the flavor accordingly.

My IDE is saying the program is running successfully, but my printer isn't printing anything.

Do I need to write spooling code as well?
