javax.print.attribute.standard

## Class PrinterState

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.print.attribute.EnumSyntax
  - - javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterState

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute, PrintServiceAttribute

      public final class PrinterState
      extends EnumSyntax
      implements PrintServiceAttribute

  Class PrinterState is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that identifies the current state of a printer. Class PrinterState defines standard printer state values. A Print Service implementation only needs to report those printer states which are appropriate for the particular implementation; it does not have to report every defined printer state. The `PrinterStateReasons` attribute augments the PrinterState attribute to give more detailed information about the printer in given printer state.

  IPP Compatibility: The category name returned by `getName()` is the IPP attribute name. The enumeration's integer value is the IPP enum value. The `toString()` method returns the IPP string representation of the attribute value.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### PrinterState

          protected PrinterState(int value)

      Construct a new printer state enumeration value with the given integer value.
      Parameters:
        `value` - Integer value.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getStringTable

          protected String[] getStringTable()

      Returns the string table for class PrinterState.
      Overrides:
        `getStringTable` in class `EnumSyntax`
      Returns:
        the string table

    - #### getEnumValueTable

          protected EnumSyntax[] getEnumValueTable()

      Returns the enumeration value table for class PrinterState.

        `getEnumValueTable` in class `EnumSyntax`
      Returns:
        the value table

    - #### getCategory

          public final Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory()

      Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

      For class PrinterState, the category is class PrinterState itself.

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