/**
 * This class extends {@link PrintService} and represents a print service that
 * prints data in different formats to a client-provided output stream. This is
 * principally intended for services where the output format is a document type
 * suitable for viewing or archiving. The output format must be declared as a
 * mime type. This is equivalent to an output document flavor where the
 * representation class is always "java.io.OutputStream" An instance of the
 * {@code StreamPrintService} class is obtained from a
 * {@link StreamPrintServiceFactory} instance.
 * <p>
 * Note that a {@code StreamPrintService} is different from a
 * {@code PrintService}, which supports a
 * {@link javax.print.attribute.standard.Destination Destination} attribute. A
 * {@code StreamPrintService} always requires an output stream, whereas a
 * {@code PrintService} optionally accepts a {@code Destination}. A
 * {@code StreamPrintService} has no default destination for its formatted
 * output. Additionally a {@code StreamPrintService} is expected to generate
 * output in a format useful in other contexts. {@code StreamPrintService}'s are
 * not expected to support the {@code Destination} attribute.
