# Class PrinterIOException

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Exception
java.awt.print.PrinterException
java.awt.print.PrinterIOException

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class PrinterIOException extends PrinterException
The `PrinterIOException` class is a subclass of `PrinterException` and is used to indicate that an IO error of some sort has occurred while printing.

As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "`IOException` that terminated the print job" that is provided at construction time and accessed via the `getIOException()` method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the `Throwable.getCause()` method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."

## Constructor Details

### PrinterIOException

public PrinterIOException(IOException exception)
Constructs a new `PrinterIOException` with the string representation of the specified `IOException`.

Parameters:
  `exception` - the specified `IOException`

## Method Details

### getIOException

public IOException getIOException()
Returns the `IOException` that terminated the print job.

This method predates the general-purpose exception chaining facility. The `Throwable.getCause()` method is now the preferred means of obtaining this information.

Returns:
  the `IOException` that terminated the print job.
See Also:
  - `IOException`

### getCause

public Throwable getCause()
Returns the cause of this exception (the `IOException` that terminated the print job).

Overrides:
  `getCause` in class `Throwable`
Returns:
  the cause of this exception.
