# Class PrinterURI

java.lang.Object
javax.print.attribute.URISyntax
javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterURI

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Cloneable`, `Attribute`, `PrintServiceAttribute`

public final class PrinterURI extends URISyntax implements PrintServiceAttribute
Class `PrinterURI` is a printing attribute class, a `URI`, that specifies the globally unique name of a printer. If it has such a name, an administrator determines a printer's `URI` and sets this attribute to that name.

IPP Compatibility: This implements the IPP printer-uri attribute. The string form returned by `toString()` gives the IPP printer-uri value. The category name returned by `getName()` gives the IPP attribute name.

  - ### PrinterURI

    public PrinterURI(URI uri)
    Constructs a new `PrinterURI` attribute with the specified `URI`.

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object object)
    Returns whether this printer name attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
    1. `object` is not `null`.
    2. `object` is an instance of class `PrinterURI`.
    3. This `PrinterURI` attribute's underlying `URI` and `object`'s underlying `URI` are equal.
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `URISyntax`
    Parameters:
      `object` - `Object` to compare to
    Returns:
      `true` if `object` is equivalent to this `PrinterURI` attribute, `false` otherwise

  - ### getCategory

    public final Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory()
    Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

    For class `PrinterURI` and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category is class `PrinterURI` itself.

    Specified by:
      `getCategory` in interface `Attribute`
    Returns:
      printing attribute class (category), an instance of class `java.lang.Class`

  - ### getName

    public final String getName()
    Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

    For class `PrinterURI` and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category name is `"printer-uri"`.

    Specified by:
      `getName` in interface `Attribute`
    Returns:
      attribute category name
