How to access the status of the printer?

Question

I need to know the Printer Status. I need to control the Printer Status using Java Program. Example

1. Check the Printer status, weather will it accept the Job or not,
2. Out of Paper
3. Printer queue
4. Toner
5. and etc..

I know there is a way to check the basic information, such as name, color supported or not. But I can't find any example to check paper, toner, job queue. I like to know if it is possible to using Java API. I found big API for printer function, but they didn't give a simple example how to use it.

Answer 1

Have a look at this PrinterStateReason. And also javax.print.
