Job name when printing file

[pjmorce]

Hello

I made a Java application which prints a file.

When the application sends the file for print, I define an attribute to give a name for the print Job so I can recognize the file being printed. To do this I have the following code:

...
// Monitor print job events
PrintJobManagment pjm = new PrintJobManagment(dPJ);
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
pras.add(new JobName("1.doc", null));
dPJ.print(doc, pras);
...

Using java 1.6, everything works fine. When I open the printer queue I can see the file ("1.doc") being printed.

Using Java 1.5 the result is not the same: When I open the printer queue I can see a file being printed but I cannot identify it by this name. It is always called "Local Document" (or something similar).

As I must use Java 1.5 and I must be able to recognize the file being printed, anaybody can give me some information about this problem? Who can I resolve it? Is there any workaround?

Thanks

Is that Java API talking about any deprecation on 1.6 features? I cannot see any other cause for this.

I searched more and I found that it is a known bug by sun and it has been corrected on Java 1.6.

Sun Bug ID: 4988628.

I would like to know if there is a workaround to resolve the problem with java 1.5.

Thanks

If Suns' corrected this bug on 1.6, I don't think there is a way to do it in 1.5. But there can be another approach, but I didn't get a way into my mind at once.

Why don't you work on with 1.6, all the things you have done on 1.5 is possible on 1.6 as well. Only thing may you have to do is remove deprecated stuff. But between 1.5 and 1.6 there is no huge difference.
