"No print service found" error on Apache Tomcat 6.0.35 running on
FreeBSD using CUPS when trying to print via Jasper.
Hello all,
I am running a web application (OpenVPMS) on Tomcat 6.0.35 on a FreeBSD 9.0
server. The webapp has a Mysql database backend. I have installed CUPS and
have several printers on the local network (mainly HP). The JVM is openjdk
6.0 (1.6.0_32-b26), downloaded and installed from ports in BSD.
One feature of the webapp is that it is supposed to send label printouts
directly to a printer using jasper. However, when I try to do this, the
following error comes up:
Failed to generate report: No suitable print service found.
I can print from the BSD server using other programs like gedit. I just
can't get the tomcat server to print directly. I am assuming that the
jasper bit was installed automatically with the tomcat port on BSD, so I
don't think I need any additional programs. I have also made sure that the
tomcat user is a member of the cups group.
I am a novice in all of this, so if anyone can point me in the right
direction, I would be most grateful. The error log is attached to this
message.
Thank you.

Well, it's using JasperReports whether it is an installation
requirement or not (it probably comes bundled with OpenVPMS or
whatever). The above stack trace clearly shows that it *is* using
JasperReports.
There is obviously some disconnect between your Java installation and
CUPS. I'd be surprised if they didn't work together in general, but
you might have to do a bit of configuration to get it all situated.
I would write some simple standalone Java programs to probe the print
capabilities that the JVM reports. Perhaps it's as simple as having
not selected the right device/port/etc. in your setup?

Thank you for your reply. I don't think that my webapp requires Jasper
Reports, just the native Tomcat's jasper. Jasper Reports is not listed as
required in any of the installation documentation (
http://www.openvpms.org/implementors-handbook). The setup seems to work
without a hitch on Windows, so I think it may be a linux / unix
configuration issue that I am confused about.

Apache Tomcat's Jasper component is not the same as Jasper Reports.
Perhaps this is causing some confusion?
