Hi,
I have the some problem that fop produces different outputs
by writing a pdf-file, 'fop -print' or 'printing -pcl'
My workaround is to let fop produce a pdf-file and then print
this file (The variable outfile contains the name of the pdf-file):
Windows NT:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C AcroRd32.exe /p /h "+outfile);
Linux:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("lp -d printer1 "+outfile);
If someone knows a better way (Windows or Linux) to print a pdf-file
from a Java-Application, please let me know.
Or knows someone a 'PDF Printer service' so the Java Print API
(javax.print.*) can be used?
