Hello ,
I am working on a project where the printer will be given multiple files to print in a sequence .But the problem is the printer is taking the first file to print. By the time the second file is sent to print while the first print operation is not complete. I want to send the next print sequentially once the first print job completes or canceled i.e the printJob is idle to accept the new print call.
The exception throws is ...
javax.print.PrintException: already printing
The following code is for referal.
Please Help me ..I am in deadline.
Thank you.
