     * set. The default implementation ignores the attribute set.
     * <p>
     * Note that some attributes may be set directly on the PrinterJob
     * by equivalent method calls, (for example), copies:
     * <code>setcopies(int)</code>, job name: <code>setJobName(String)</code>
     * and specifying media size and orientation though the
     * <code>PageFormat</code> object.
     * <p>
     * If a supported attribute-value is specified in this attribute set,
     * it will take precedence over the API settings for this print()
     * operation only.
     * The following behaviour is specified for PageFormat:
     * If a client uses the Printable interface, then the
     * <code>attributes</code> parameter to this method is examined
     * for attributes which specify media (by size), orientation, and
     * imageable area, and those are used to construct a new PageFormat
     * which is passed to the Printable object's print() method.
     * See {@link Printable} for an explanation of the required
     * behaviour of a Printable to ensure optimal printing via PrinterJob.
     * For clients of the Pageable interface, the PageFormat will always
     * be as supplied by that interface, on a per page basis.
     * <p>
     * These behaviours allow an application to directly pass the
     * user settings returned from
     * <code>printDialog(PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes</code> to
     * this print() method.
     * <p>
     *
     * @param attributes a set of attributes for the job
