Print to specific printer (IPP URI) in Java

by

I finally found a way to do this, by using jipsi:

URI printerURI = new URI("ipp://SERVER:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME");
IppPrintService svc = new IppPrintService(printerURI);
InputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("image.epl"));
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(stream, flavor, null);
DocPrintJob job = svc.createPrintJob();
job.print(myDoc, null);

I have to admit I’m disappointed at having to use a 3rd-party library to do something so seemingly simple as printing to a specific printer.

UPDATE

DR points out in the comments that jipsi has a new home, and a new name.

Cups4J is a nice alternative, but as the name implies it may not work correctly if the destination is not a CUPS server. I have had good results using Cups4J to print directly to a Zebra thermal printer.
