PDF prints on local, on server gives HeadlessException

Hello,
 
I am printina pdf using PDFBox. It works great on out local dev boxes but when we move to the server it gives the error:
java.awt.HeadlessException
at sun.print.PSPrinterJob.printDialog(PSPrinterJob.java:401)
     at org.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.print(PDDocument.java:831)...
 
Can anyone help with this?
 
Thanks

Well, that's the limit of my knowledge.  Hopefully there's someone else on the list with more specific knowledge.
However, since the error appears to be thrown from the printer software  
	sun.print.PSPrinterJob.printDialog(PSPrinterJob.java:401)
you might want to check the documentation there to be sure it is getting the info about running headless.

Thanks!

Yes we have done that. I also test to see that Headless == true before I print, and it does. We still get the error.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks

Almost certainly you need to run in Headless mode.  Check out:
