void cern.laser.guiplatform.printing.PrintUtil.print

(

)

throws SettingsNotCorrectException

method prints printable object on printer choosen in dialog with respecting settings from this dialog

Exceptions:

SettingsNotCorrectException

you should use printDialog() method before invoking print() method

boolean cern.laser.guiplatform.printing.PrintUtil.print	(	File	printableFile,
		char	fileType,
		String	nameOfPrinter
	)

Sends a file to a printer to be printed. (method from cern.printing package)
This method returns true if the job was sent successfully or returns false if an error or timeout occured.
The file's format must be specified as a single character, and must be one of the following types:

• f - a formatted file (the default)
• l - a binary/literal file
• c - a CIF file
• d - a DVI file
• g - the output from the plot(3X)
• n - a ditroff output file
• o - a Postscript output file
• p - print file using 'pr' format
• r - a text file with FORTRAN carriage
• t - a troff output file
• v - a raster file

Parameters:

	printableFile	The file to be printed
	fileType	The format of the file (see above)
	nameOfPrinter	The name of the printer to use

Returns:

blank

boolean cern.laser.guiplatform.printing.PrintUtil.printDialog

(

)

throws MissingPrintableObjectException

Displays print dialog. When obtaining of printers from OS is successfull it displays regular print dialog. In other case it displays dialog which obtains printers on the base of building number from IT Print Support web script. Obtaining client's building number is automatic, as well.

Exceptions:

MissingPrintableObjectException

Printable object is missing. Use: setPrintable method

Returns:

true: settings are correct and user wants to continue printing (print Button) false: user pressed Cancel buttom

painter

)

sets reference to object which will be printed

Parameters:
