Printing on different Printers

[Normen Ruhrus <N....@Alphasoft-GmbH.de>]

Hi there,
 
i wrote a servlet that supports pdf streaming to a browser (works fine)
and printing (server side) using the awtrenderer.
Problem here is, when i print it on different printers the look and size
changes. On one printer it looks just fine while
on the other one some parts are cut off?
 
Is there an explanation / workaround ???
 
Hope someone can help me out...
 
Thanks in advance

In our testing, we've found that the version of Java being used may 
affect the output. In particular, there was a bug in pre-1.4.x Sun java 
that had FontMetrics issues. IBM 1.30 java appears to be unaffected by 
this bug. As a result, we've indicated to our clients that our FOP 
implementation requires Sun Java 1.4.1+ or IBM Java 1.30+.

If you're having problems, see if you can install one of these JAVA 
upgrades, and then do more testing. If you find it works, that may be 
the culprit.

HTH!

p.s. This might (?) be more appropriate on the fop-user list (which I 
believe most if not all fop-devers read avidly... ;-)
