Print

public class Print extends Object
This utility program demonstrates the javax.print API and allows you to list available printers, query a named printer, print text and image files to a printer, and print to postscript files. Usage: java Print -i inputfile [-q] [-p printer] [-ps outputfile] [attributes]
