- Thread-topic: remotely print PDF files from WO
Hello everyone,
I've got an issue here. I've got a PDF file that is generated by JavaPDFGenerator though a Java web application. I need to send this PDF file to a print server without opening the file up in a browser, clicking the print icon, waiting for the PDF print dialogbox to come up, and having the user send the job to a printer. Instead, I know who the IP address of the print server, and hopefully the driver as well (installed on the deployment box). The print server will then farm out the print job to one of the printers in its cluster. Sounds easy......
So far I've heard that javax.print does not support the PDF "flavor." Is this correct? If it did support PDF, then the solution would be simple, because javax.print can spool my job to a remote printer! It's the PDF file format that is the problem.
I was also thinking about the Runtime class and executing an OS command to spool the job to the printer through a shell script. Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks for all your help!
Melissa
