I am using windows NT and I am trying to print the PCL output directly to the
printer which is a
HP Laser Jet 6P/6MP network printer from my application. Here is my piece of
code :
>>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("../temp/tTest.pcl");
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PCL);
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardElementMapping");
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping");
driver.addPropertyList("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardPropertyListMapping");
driver.addPropertyList("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGPropertyListMapping");
driver.setOutputStream(fos);
driver.buildFOTree(parser, new InputSource(args[0]));
driver.format();
driver.render();
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<<
Now instead of printing to the Test.pcl file I want to send the output directly
to the HP Laser Jet 6P/6MP
printer on the network.
Thanks,
Hitesh
