Thanks very much for your help. Unfortunately, I guess I still don't get it.
Here is the little
program I wrote to try it out:

public class Tryit {
    public static final void main(String[] args){
        DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PRINTABLE;
        PrintRequestAttributeSet attrSet =
            new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        PrintService[] printServices =
            PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(docFlavor, attrSet);
        for(PrintService ps : printServices){
            DocPrintJob prtJob = ps.createPrintJob();
            PrintJobAttributeSet prtJobAttrSet = prtJob.getAttributes();
            PrinterResolution resAttr =
                (PrinterResolution)prtJobAttrSet.get(PrinterResolution.c

            System.out.println(ps + ": " + resAttr);
        }

    }
}

And here is the output.

Win32 Printer : Microsoft XPS Document Writer: null
Win32 Printer : Microsoft Office Document Image Writer: null
Win32 Printer : HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6: null
Win32 Printer : HP LaserJet 2100: null
Win32 Printer : File: null
Win32 Printer : Fax: null

As you can see, It didn't find the attribute. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks much.

I'm doing some printing using the following basic code skeleton.

     PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
     PrinterJob prtJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob():
     prtJob.setPrintable(<my printable>);
     if(prtJob.pageDialog(aset)){
         if(prtJob.printDialog(aset)){
             prtJob.print(aset);
         }
     }

Just before the call to print, the aset does not contain the
PrinterResolution attribute.
Does anyone know how I can get the printer resolution? Thanks.
