With a hacked JDK 9 (so that collate is not disabled) I can print
either collated or un-collated.<br>
This is on Ubuntu 16.04 with HP CP4525<br>
<br>
testing this is a pain since the spooler hangs in "processing" after
every job<br>
and I need to kill the process and restart the printer.<br>
<br>
That is not a JDK problem since (a) outside our scope and (b) same
problem with libreoffice printing ..<br>
<br>
But it makes me think that we should be looking at reverting 8016737
.. not extending it.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Thanks for checking that.<br>
<br>
The bit I don't like here is that the end-user can then no
longer ask for collation<br>
at all on Linux even though it has some chance of working on
some versions.<br>

This is the case even without my change and collate option is
disabled for PrinterJob. <br>
My fix (?) makes it disabled for PrintJob too.<br>

---<br>
In our cups class we were doing a cupsAddOption("copies",
"2",.. and cupsAddOption("Collate", "True", .. commands (see
examples below). It turns out the the cups "copies" command
was killing the Collating if it set to 2. Like the orientation
postscript/cups conflict you need to set the cups copies value
to 1 to get the collation to work. The postscript file already
knows its going to print out, for example 2 copies. <br>
---<br>
<br>
We set NumCopies in the Postscript along with collate :-<br>
mPSStream.print(isCollated() ? " /Collate
true":"");<br>
mPSStream.print(" /NumCopies " +getCopiesInt());<br>
<br>
So when we exec we also do "lp -# 2 .. " or whatever do set
copies.<br>

One thing is that, in my testing in ubuntu14.04 "collation" is
working and "uncollation" is not working. When I print 2 copies
and do not select "collate" option in printer dialog [I enabled
collate option by commenting out the isLinux check from <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l1062"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l1062">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l1062</a></a>]
<br>
then, it prints Page 0, Page 1, Page 0, Page 1 [same as, when I
checked "collate" option] in my Ricoh printer in double-sided
print. I think for uncollation, it should print Page 0, Page 0
back-to-back in 1 copy and Page1-Page1 in another copy, right?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Yes, uncollated should be as you say.<br>
What is going on ??? Is this for PrinterJob or PrintJob or both ?<br>
I need to configure a printer on my Ubuntu .. I lost them recently
when my hard drive went bad.<br>

I tracked down the changeset that has the code you reference

then it becomes clear (sort of) that this was a workaround for the oddity that Collate
worked on Ubuntu 12.04 but not on Ubuntu 13.04, so the idea was to stop saying it
was supported.
That is very annoying of course and I'd love to know if we've rechecked from the source that

Also the fix you are proposing doesn't seem to change anything that will help

The fix does not directly help the test. The idea is to have
the test call first
isAttributeCategorySupprted(SheetCollate.class) and only
execute the test if it is supported. It is mentioned inthe
bug report.<br>
Since, now our code returns false for SheetCollate
attribute, my fix will disable the collate option to prevent
anomaly of returning false for support but enabling the
collate option.<br>

<p>Hi Phil,</p>
<p>I was investigating JDK-8170352: The collate option
is not checked and I found that CUPS does not report
collate as supported attribute. <br>
</p>
It is removed from printRequestAttrib [<a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l167"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l167">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l167</a></a>]<br>
so we do not look for collate-supported attribute in
CUPS. Infact, getAttMap does not have any
"collate-supported" attribute too!!<br>
Also, this code [<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l1062">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/IPPPrintService.java#l1062</a>]
has been added [for 8016737] <br>
to remove SheetCollate from supported attributes.<br>
<br>
In light of this, I think we should disabled collate
option from our print dialog even for Toolkit based
PrintJob. It seems, from this code <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/share/classes/sun/print/ServiceDialog.java#l1251">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/share/classes/sun/print/ServiceDialog.java#l1251</a><br>
it is enabled if we specify in testcase<br>
<i>job.setDefaultSelection(JobAttributes.DefaultSelectionType.SELECTION);
</i>in which case isAWT set to true.<br>
even though selection is determined by attribute
support [<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/share/classes/sun/print/ServiceDialog.java#l1320">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/a21bac70753d/src/java.desktop/share/classes/sun/print/ServiceDialog.java#l1320</a>]<br>
<br>
I could not find why it is hardcoded to
setEnabled(true) for "Selection". Do you know?
mercurial history shows that line from jdk7 and I
could not find previous history.<br>
I think there also, we should check for "<span
id="l1320">scSupported" to enable sheetcollate?
Anyways, "Selection" option is not there in linux.<br>
Please let me know your views.<br>
