All Implemented Interfaces:
Attribute, Cloneable, PrintServiceAttribute, Serializable

public final class PrinterURI
extends URISyntax
implements PrintServiceAttribute

Class PrinterURI is a printing attribute class, a URI, that specifies the globally unique name of a printer. If it has such a name, an administrator determines a printer's URI and sets this attribute to that name.

IPP Compatibility: This implements the IPP printer-uri attribute. The string form returned by toString() gives the IPP printer-uri value. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

For class PrinterURI and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category is class PrinterURI itself.

Specified by:
getCategory in interface Attribute
Returns:
Printing attribute class (category), an instance of class java.lang.Class.

getName
