Printer PDF
I tested an example FopPrintServlet, this Class get a default
printer with server and print the document. In this case the user don't see
the document in the browser, because the document has print. I need found
the default printer of client and redirect for this printer. The server can
redirect this document because the printers are network print. How can I do
that???
Thank's,

Well, someone actually posted some code to achieve this with FOP,
two or three years ago. There wass still some detailed knowledge of
the client necessary.

Is it possible to post-process the FOP output PDF with iText, to add
some sort of JavaScript 'print' command? I haven't tried such a thing,
but it should be possible. I definitely would like to hear if this sort
of thing has been tried before, and whether or not it works!

You can't.
There is no standardized way to get the client's printer setup into a
web server short of writing a signed Java applet with appropriate
rights or using an ActiveX control (if the clients are IEx exclusively).
Anyway, it's not a FOP problem. Try a more generalweb application
development forum, preferably specializing in your client's browser.
Oh, and what's wrong with pushing the PDF to the browser and tell the
user to print it?
