As J2PrinterWorks has evolved, our goal has been to make API changes in a way that preserves compatibility over releases.  That is, when newer APIs have been added that obsolete older APIs, the older APIs have been preserved so that they still work.  These older APIs are usually declared "deprecated", meaning that Java development environments will warn that they should no longer be used and suggest alternatives. 

Now, in an effort to reduce clutter from older APIs and excess code, we are removing older APIs that have spent a long enough period of time being "deprecated".  This section documents these dropped APIs and the alternatives that should now be used.  Source Code Licensees will find the old implementations preserved in the source code as comments.
