/**
 * PrinterJob is the starting place for JavaFX scenegraph printing.
 * <p>
 * It includes
 * <ul>
 * <li>Printer discovery
 * <li>Job creation
 * <li>Job configuration based on supported printer capabilities
 * <li>Page setup
 * <li>Rendering of a node hierachy to a page.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Here ia a very simple example, which prints a single node.
 * <pre>
 * Node node = new Circle(100, 200, 200);
 * PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
 * if (job != null) {
 *    boolean success = job.printPage(node);
 *    if (success) {
 *        job.endJob();
 *    }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <b>Points to note</b>
 * <p>
 * In the example above the node was not added to a scene.
 * Since most printing scenarios are printing content that's either
 * not displayed at all, or must be prepared and formatted differently,
 * this is perfectly acceptable.
 * <p>
 * If content that is currently part of a Scene and is being displayed,
 * is printed, then because printing a job or even a single page
 * of the job may span over multiple screen "pulses" or frames, it is
 * important for the application to ensure that the node being printed
 * is not updated during the printing process, else partial or smeared
 * rendering is probable.
 * <p>
 * It should be apparent that the same applies even to nodes that are
 * not displayed - updating them concurrent with printing them is not
 * a good idea.
 * <p>
 * There is no requirement to do printing on the FX application thread.
 * A node may be prepared for printing on any thread, the job may
 * be invoked on any thread. However, minimising the amount of work
 * done on the FX application thread is generally desirable,
 * so as not to affect the responsiveness of the application UI.
 * So the recommendation is to perform printing on a new thread
 * and let the implementation internally schedule any tasks that
 * need to be performed on the FX thread to be run on that thread.
 *
 * @since JavaFX 8.0
