Google Cloud Print (GCP) API for Java

document : https://developers.google.com/cloud-print/

About Capabilities :
There are two ways to do that:

1. Load printer capabilities and create an XML(XPS format) file using Windows API. Ex.: Using "PrintQueue" class --> GetPrintCapabilitiesAsXml.WriteTo(file)
   
2. Obtaining the PPD file of the PostScript printer.
   Uploading one of these files, GCP was able to understand the printer capabilities.

   Thank you very much.

Example

Connect to google cloud print ```java String email = "YOUR_GOOGLE_EMAIL"; String password = "YOUR_GOOGLE_PASSWORD";

GoogleCloudPrint cloudPrint = new GoogleCloudPrint();

//connect to google cloud print cloudPrint.connect(email, password, "geniustree-cloudprint-1.0");

<b>Disconnect from google cloud print</b>
```java
cloudPrint.disconnect();

Register printer

// create and setup printer

RegisterPrinterResponse response = cloudPrint.registerPrinter(printer);

InputStream inputStream = null;
try {
    //URL ppdURL = Example.class.getResource("/ppd/ADIST5CS.PPD");
    URL xpsURL = Example.class.getResource("/xml/XPSCapabilities.xml");
    
    File capabilitiesFile = new File(xpsURL.getPath());
    inputStream = new FileInputStream(capabilitiesFile);


    /*
    * require
    * - printer name
    * - display name
    * - proxy
    * - capabilities 
    * - defaults
    * - tag
    * - status
    * - description
    * - capsHash
    */

    Printer printer = new Printer();
    printer.setName("Test Printer");
    printer.setDisplayName("Test Printer");
    printer.setProxy("pamarin");
    Set<String> tags = new HashSet<String>();
    tags.add("test");
    tags.add("register");
    printer.setTags(tags);

    String capsHash = DigestUtils.sha512Hex(inputStream);
    printer.setCapsHash(capsHash);
    printer.setStatus("REGISTER");
    printer.setDescription("test register printer");
    printer.setCapabilities(capabilitiesFile);
    printer.setDefaults(capabilitiesFile);

    RegisterPrinterResponse response = cloudPrint.registerPrinter(printer);
    if (!response.isSuccess()) {
        LOG.debug("message = > {}", response.getMessage());
        return;
    }
    
    for (Printer print : response.getPrinters()) {
        LOG.debug("printer response => {}", print);
    }
} catch (IOException ex) {
    LOG.warn(null, ex);
} catch (CloudPrintException ex) {
    LOG.warn(null, ex);
} finally {
    if (inputStream != null) {
        try {

}

Job listener (listener job from google talk notification)

cloudPrint.addJobListener(new JobListener() {
