public class PrintTester

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Runnable

PrintTester will send print requests to the PrintText Service A client that wants to use the PrintText services needs to only do the following

      TupleSpace servers = new TupleSpace("Services",servicehost);	    
	    
	    servers.write(TServices.PRINT,Printer1,"Line1 \n Line2");

The above is the simple PrintText command. The client can optionally add both fields to send Printer Options and an ID value that is used to get back a return value that will indicate if the request was sucessful. A client that wants to print the contents of a file needs to specify the File as a URL and pass it via the URLCopy facility

      TupleSpace servers = new TupleSpace("Services",servicehost);	       
	    servers.write(TServices.PRINT,Printer1,
              new URLCopy(filepath)),"opts",new Long(id));

where "filepath" points to a printable file. This could also be in the form "file:/filepath/filename" or "http://server/file"
