Hi,
i am not aware of such a Java class. Printing of ODF documents is a
little bit more complex and you need a lot more stuff to render the
document first and print it later on. It's a perfect example that
manipulation of ODF is much more than simply dealing with plain xml.

Thanks. As I said, it's more about reducing the footprint of my app.
Most of my clients install it by downloading it and if I could have
just one or two Java classes that printed ODF files, it would make it
easier to install my system. It would also make maintaining the
package easier since OOo has moved to the newer install formats
since .msi files are a pain to work with on Linux (in regards to
opening or editing them). It was much easier to manage the install
when it was essentially the same for Windows and Linux (and I could
control it with simple command line arguments!).
I take it that the printing issues are the same if I want to just
convert it to, say, some PDF files?
probably yes, but for some special conversions there might be other
solutions available. XSL transformations for example to convert to xhtml
or any other xml based format.

I look into this every now and then. I've been searching Google
for a Java class that will print ODF files without using
OpenOffice. While this isn't a "must have" it would make some of
my software I have for my clients a little easier to deal with.
Has anyone seen a Java class or jar that will read an OOo file,
like .odt, and print it to a printer? I've seen JODConverter, but
that requires OOo. I want to reduce my footprint on clients'
computers and it would be great if, one day, my program could run
on computers without a need for X or any GUI.
Thanks for any info on this, positive or negative.
