<div class="section"><p>A <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/vaccess/VPrinter.html#NAVBAR_TOP"> VPrinter</a> object is a resource that represents
|

|
|
a server printer and its spooled files for use in <a href="vpanes.htm#vpanes">AS400Panes</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>To use a VPrinter, set the printer property. Set this property
|
||
|
|
by using a constructor or through the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/vaccess/VPrinter.html#SETPRINTER(COM.IBM.AS400.ACCESS.PRINTER)"> setPrinter()</a> method. The VPrinter object
|
||
|
|
is then "plugged" into the AS400Pane as the root, using the pane's constructor
|
||
|
|
or setRoot() method.</p>

</div>

<div class="section"><p>When AS400Pane and VPrinter objects are created, they are initialized

not loaded at creation time.</p>

</div>

<div class="section"><p>To load the contents, the caller must explicitly call the load()

method on either object. This will initiate communication to the server to

gather the contents of the list.</p>

<div class="section"><p>At run-time, a user can perform actions on any printer or spooled

<li><strong>Stop</strong> - stops the printer</li>

<li><strong>Make unavailable</strong> - makes the printer unavailable</li>

<div class="section"><ul><li><strong>Reply</strong> - replies to the spooled file</li>

<li><strong>Send</strong> - sends the spooled file</li>

<li><strong>Delete</strong> - deletes the spooled file</li>
