PrinterURI (Java SE 12 & JDK 12 )
Keywords: javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterURI class

Module java.desktop
Package 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.

    - #### PrinterURI

          public PrinterURI​(URI uri)

      Constructs a new `PrinterURI` attribute with the specified `URI`.
      Parameters:
        `uri` - `URI` of the printer
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - 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

        `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
