    Classes in javax.print.attribute that implement AttributeSet
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `HashAttributeSet` Class HashAttributeSet provides an `AttributeSet` implementation with characteristics of a hash map.
    `class` | `HashDocAttributeSet` Class HashDocAttributeSet provides an attribute set which inherits its implementation from class `HashAttributeSet` and enforces the semantic restrictions of interface `DocAttributeSet`.
    `class` | `HashPrintJobAttributeSet` Class HashPrintJobAttributeSet provides an attribute set which inherits its implementation from class `HashAttributeSet` and enforces the semantic restrictions of interface `PrintJobAttributeSet`.
    `class` | `HashPrintRequestAttributeSet` Class HashPrintRequestAttributeSet inherits its implementation from class `HashAttributeSet` and enforces the semantic restrictions of interface `PrintRequestAttributeSet`.
    `class` | `HashPrintServiceAttributeSet` Class HashPrintServiceAttributeSet provides an attribute set which inherits its implementation from class `HashAttributeSet` and enforces the semantic restrictions of interface `PrintServiceAttributeSet`.
