PDF PrinterJob get Job status

Question

I have an issue to print a PDF using java. I know that Java doesn't support print PDF natively cause java doesn't have a PDF renderer. So to solve this problem I'm using a PDFRenderer library and here is an example for printing with it:

 File f = new File("myfile.pdf");
 FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
 FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel();
 ByteBuffer bb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0,
 fc.size());
 PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(bb); 
 PDFPrintPage pages = new PDFPrintPage(pdfFile);
 PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
 PageFormat pf = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage();
 pjob.setJobName(f.getName());
 pjob.setPrintService(mPrintService);
 Book book = new Book();
 book.append(pages, pf, pdfFile.getNumPages());
 pjob.setPageable(book);
 pjob.print();

It works fine, but I need some way to get status of my printer job. I need to know when my printer job was finished that I can start another. Java API has a good solution with DocPrintJob and PrintJobListener but I need to use PrinterJob for my PDF printing. So how I can listen the job status from my PrinterJob like it does in DocPrintJob?

javafx.print
Enum PrinterJob.JobStatus

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<PrinterJob.JobStatus>
javafx.print.PrinterJob.JobStatus


public static PrinterJob.JobStatus[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for (PrinterJob.JobStatus c : PrinterJob.JobStatus.values())
    System.out.println(c);
