hi there;

does anyone know how to get the device events from ibm 9068 printer or olivetti printer?

below is the code to do simple printing on the printer, it provide from java comm.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.comm.*;

public class SimpleWrite {
static Enumeration portList;
static CommPortIdentifier portId;
static String messageString = "Hello, world!\nHi Tan.";
static SerialPort serialPort;
static OutputStream outputStream;

public static void main(String[] args) {
portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();

while (portList.hasMoreElements()) {
portId = (CommPortIdentifier) portList.nextElement();
if (portId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL) {
if (portId.getName().equals("COM1")) {
System.out.println("port name = " + portId.getName());
//if (portId.getName().equals("/dev/term/a")) {
try {
serialPort = (SerialPort)
portId.open("SimpleWriteApp", 2000);
//System.out.println("1");
} catch (PortInUseException e) {}
try {
outputStream = serialPort.getOutputStream();
//System.out.println("2");
} catch (IOException e) {}
try {
serialPort.setSerialPortParams(9600,
SerialPort.DATABITS_8,
SerialPort.STOPBITS_1,
SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
//System.out.println("3");
} catch (UnsupportedCommOperationException e) {}
try {
outputStream.write(messageString.getBytes());
//System.out.println("4");
} catch (IOException e) {}
}
}
}
}
}
