@Deprecated
public class Printer
extends java.lang.Object
```
Deprecated.
Use IonValue.writeTo(IonWriter) instead.
DEPRECATED: use IonValue.writeTo(IonWriter) instead.
Renders IonValues to text.
By default, output is in a compact format with minimal whitespace. For example:
```
    annot::{f1:["hello","goodbye"],'another field':long::0}
```
The format can be tuned through various properties on the Printer instance, as well as through the Printer.Options structure.
Instances of this class are safe for use by multiple threads.
While printers are inexpensive to create, their configuration facilities make them useful as shared resources. Changes to configuration settings (e.g., setJsonMode()) do not affect concurrently-running calls to print(com.amazon.ion.IonValue, java.lang.Appendable).
