javax.print.attribute.standard

## Class PrinterURI

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.print.attribute.URISyntax
  - - javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterURI

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

      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.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### PrinterURI

          public PrinterURI(URI uri)

      Constructs a new PrinterURI attribute with the specified URI.
      Parameters:
        `uri` - URI of the printer
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if `uri` is null.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object object)

      Returns whether this printer name attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
      1. `object` is not null.
      2. `object` is an instance of class PrinterURI.
      3. This PrinterURI attribute's underlying URI and `object`'s underlying URI are equal.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `URISyntax`
      Parameters:
        `object` - Object to compare to.
      Returns:
        True if `object` is equivalent to this PrinterURI attribute, false otherwise.
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

    - #### 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 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

          public final String getName()

      Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

      For class PrinterURI and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category name is `"printer-uri"`.

      Specified by:
        `getName` in interface `Attribute`
      Returns:
        Attribute category name.
