Printing PDF on the client default printer.
Hi all,
The following message, posted on the list in 2004 exactly describes my
situation : I'm able to print a generated pdf file directly on printer (not
prompted to be opened) on the app server default printer but I'm not able to
print on the client default printer.
Thanks in advance for your help.

In that case, the most obvious solution is to write a Java Applet that
contains FOP. You can use the PrintRenderer there. From an Applet you
should be able to print to the client's own default printer because it
resides and runs inside the client's browser. Maybe there are commercial
solutions around (ActiveX or whatever) that might be able to do similar
things.

Thanks again but I'm afraid I'm not in the same case : I don't want to print
a pdf that already exists : I generate the pdf from xml source and xsl file
and want to send it directly to client's default printer instead of
displaying it (that works).
Do you have an idea ?

Re: Printing PDF on the client default printer.

What you've shown here only works if you're printing on the local server.
You need to look at the link that is provided with the FAQ entry:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=101065988325115&w=2
With this approach you'll produce a PDF on the server and send that to
the browser using a servlet. Then you call the printAll() method via
JavaScript from the HTML code. I've never tried this myself but it looks
useful.
BTW, if you're writing new stuff using FOP anyway, you might want to
consider upgrading to the latest FOP release.

Re: Printing PDF on the client default printer.
Posted by jgfa9 <j....@actes-sud.fr>.
Thanks for the quick answer.
I've already seen this FAQ but I can't achieve this :
Here is my code :
public static void printFO(InputSource foFile) {
try {
System.out.println("printFo");
Driver driver = new Driver(foFile, null);
System.out.println("printFo 2");
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
System.out.println("printFo 3");
PrintRenderer renderer = new PrintRenderer(pj);
System.out.println("printFo 4");
driver.setRenderer(renderer);
System.out.println("printFo 5");
driver.run();
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
}
The trace displays printFo and printFo2 and then nothing...
Do you have an idea (I hope I provided enough information) ?
Thanks again.
