Have you googled "java pause 5 seconds" or "java wait 5 seconds"?

What have you tried/looked at?

My code has to watch every 5 seconds if any files copied by the user,if it is true, code has to detect and print to default printer.

Did you even read my last post? Did you try using the google searches I suggested?

From our FAQ:

Posting Homework or Coursework Questions and Answers
This site is not a place where you can get your homework and course work done for you. Ignoring the questionable morals of getting someone else to do your work towards a formal qualification you will learn a lot more by attempting the problem yourself, then asking for help with the bits that are not working. You will be more likely to get help if you appear to have made an attempt at the problem yourself.
If it appears that the question has just been pasted directly from a text book or coursework assignment our moderators have been instructed to meet this with a set response. This is a pre-written message asking you to make some attempt at the assignment yourself before asking questions about specific problems and referring you to this FAQ.
Do NOT post your complete source code. Remember, you found this site, so can your professors and tutors and they are likely to take a dim view if you hand in something that appears to be copied from this site. In most academic institutes the minimum response to copying of assignments is a 0 mark for the assignment in question. If you post your entire code your professor will not know it was your work, you may be penalised for copying from yourself.
If an expert requests that you provide more of your code then you can PM it to them, however please do not PM them your code unless requested.
Acceptable questions that students can ask are on functionality and theory or syntax corrections in small posted code snippets.
Please make sure you have asked an actual question worded in English outside of the text of your assignment that you have posted.
