45 * <code>StreamPrintService</code> is a special print service capable of
46 * printing into a supplied output stream.
48 * Beside providing the same functionality as a print service it additionally
49 * allows to specify the output stream for the print data. A stream print
50 * service is obtained via the {@link javax.print.StreamPrintServiceFactory}
51 * by looking for services supporting a given output format type.
