Class VPrinter

java.lang.Object
  extended bycom.ibm.as400.vaccess.VPrinter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, TreeNode, VNode, VObject

Deprecated. Use Java Swing instead, along with the classes in package com.ibm.as400.access

public class VPrinter
extends Object
implements VNode, Serializable

The VPrinter class defines the representation of a system printer for use in various models and panes in this package.

A VPrinter object has no children. Its details children are the spooled files (VOutput objects) on the printer.

Most errors are reported as ErrorEvents rather than throwing exceptions. Users should listen for ErrorEvents in order to diagnose and recover from error conditions.

VPrinter objects generate the following events:
