  Class and Description

  Class and Description
  Doc Interface Doc specifies the interface for an object that supplies one piece of print data for a Print Job.
  DocFlavor Class `DocFlavor` encapsulates an object that specifies the format in which print data is supplied to a `DocPrintJob`.
  DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY Class DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a byte array (`byte[]`) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY Class DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a character array (`char[]`) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM Class DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a byte stream (`java.io.InputStream`) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.READER Class DocFlavor.READER provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a character stream (`java.io.Reader`) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED Class DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors for service formatted print data.
  DocFlavor.STRING Class DocFlavor.STRING provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects for example doc flavors using a string (`java.lang.String`) as the print data representation class.
  DocFlavor.URL Class DocFlavor.URL provides predefined static constant DocFlavor objects.
  DocPrintJob This interface represents a print job that can print a specified document with a set of job attributes.
  MultiDoc Interface MultiDoc specifies the interface for an object that supplies more than one piece of print data for a Print Job.
  MultiDocPrintJob Obtained from a MultiDocPrintService, a MultiDocPrintJob can print a specified collection of documents as a single print job with a set of job attributes.
  MultiDocPrintService Interface MultiPrintService is the factory for a MultiDocPrintJob.
  PrintException Class PrintException encapsulates a printing-related error condition that occurred while using a Print Service instance.
  PrintService Interface PrintService is the factory for a DocPrintJob.
  PrintServiceLookup Implementations of this class provide lookup services for print services (typically equivalent to printers) of a particular type.
  ServiceUIFactory Services may optionally provide UIs which allow different styles of interaction in different roles.
  StreamPrintService This class extends `PrintService` and represents a print service that prints data in different formats to a client-provided output stream.
  StreamPrintServiceFactory A `StreamPrintServiceFactory` is the factory for `StreamPrintService` instances, which can print to an output stream in a particular document format described as a mime type.
