I'm guessing the printserver will accept postscript files ... you could
try using pdf2ps (ghostscript) to convert PDF to PS.
Not that I've ever done it before.
Take care,

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
