[Bug 54042] New: Printing to printer does not work

          Priority: P2
            Bug ID: 54042
          Assignee: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
           Summary: Printing to printer does not work
          Severity: blocker
    Classification: Unclassified
          Reporter: paweusz@7bulls.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
           Version: 1.1
         Component: general
           Product: Fop

To reproduce, please get the fop-1.1 from binareis mirror, and under linux

./fop examples/embedding/xml/fo/helloworld.fo -print

under windows

./fop.bat examples/embedding/xml/fo/helloworld.fo -print

Does not work - prints empty page.

My project is using fop in much more sophisticated manner, and fop isn't doing
well in that case too (programatically used to print documents), but I think
this example is as much clean as it should be, to allow reproduction of the
issue.

Could you suggest one of them? Fop 1.1 produced PDF is printable neither by
com.sun.pdfview.PDFRenderer nor the apache PDFBox (nondeterministic
segmentation fault)

The problem is there is no lpr in windows.

Generate Postscript instead of PDF and stream that to the Printer using lpr

I suggest deprecating/removing the -print output format, since it is not well
supported and functionally unnecessary. There are better, more preferable ways
to print an output file produced by fop.

Oh yes there is :-) It is bundled with XP. On Windows 7 I had to adjust the
default installed Windows fatures to get it. I can't remember exactly what I
did now, but probably something like described here:
