That seems odd--HTTP normally won't (can't?) work that
way. It seems tantamount to saying that one can make
an HTTP request from one browser and have the response
sent to another browser (on a different machine).
Would you mind getting into some details of how you
managed that?
Thanks,

Just wanted everyone to know that I have successfully
implemented client side printing using FOP....
Eg: If the XML file gets created on the webserver
which is located in Los Angeles and the user in
London, then the XML is converted to PDF and the PDF
file is printed on the clients default printer in
London.
Thanks

Thanks for your (and Manoj's) explanation. I didn't
know how this was done. Good work Manoj!

The problem has been discussed several times and is even
mentioned in the FAQ. The common recommendation is to
provide something to the browser which can redirect the
PDF to the client's local printer, an simple ActiveX (IEx
only) or a Java applet (which has to be granted some
rights, not difficult to arrange in a corporate setup).
A Java applet could even render the PDF on the client,
the only problem is the large Jar download for FOP+friends,
which can be circumvented by pre-installation.
