# Package javax.print.event

package javax.print.event
Package `javax.print.event` contains event classes and listener interfaces.

They may be used to monitor both print services (such as printers going on-line & off-line), and the progress of a specific print job.

Please note: In the `javax.print` APIs, a `null` reference parameter to methods is incorrect unless explicitly documented on the method as having a meaningful interpretation. Usage to the contrary is incorrect coding and may result in a run time exception either immediately or at some later time. `IllegalArgumentException` and `NullPointerException` are examples of typical and acceptable run time exceptions for such cases.
