Class PrinterLocation

java.lang.Object extended by javax.print.attribute.TextSyntax javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterLocation

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute, PrintServiceAttribute

public final class PrinterLocation

Class PrinterLocation is a printing attribute class, a text attribute, that identifies the location of the device. This could include things like: "in Room 123A, second floor of building XYZ".

IPP Compatibility: The string value gives the IPP name value. The locale gives the IPP natural language. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

object is not null.
object is an instance of class PrinterLocation.
This printer location attribute's underlying string and object's underlying string are equal.
This printer location attribute's locale and object's locale are equal.

Overrides:

[equals](../../../../javax/print/attribute/TextSyntax.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in class [TextSyntax](../../../../javax/print/attribute/TextSyntax.html "class in javax.print.attribute")

Parameters:

object - Object to compare to.
