Hi
Thanks for your comments, I found the following is the code in PrintRenderer
Class of FOP
private void initializePrinterJob() throws IllegalArgumentException {
// read from command-line options
copies = getIntProperty("copies", 1);
startNumber = getIntProperty("start", 1) - 1;
endNumber = getIntProperty("end", -1);
String str = System.getProperty("even");
if (str != null) {
mode = Boolean.valueOf(str).booleanValue() ? EVEN : ODD;
}
printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printerJob.setJobName("FOP Document");
printerJob.setCopies(copies);
if (System.getProperty("dialog") != null) {
if (!printerJob.printDialog()) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"Printing cancelled by operator");
}
}
printerJob.setPageable(this);
}
It reads the start and end pages to print the specified pages. But not sure
of how to pass as argument.

With FOP, you can just specify -print option, which sends the output
to printer. But you cannot control the printing options (like start,
and end pages) from FOP command line. I think the reason for this is;
start and end page options is a facility provided by the printer
driver. You cannot specify these options at an application level.
But I think, you should get a printer dialog box (an OS feature) with
-print FOP option, from where you can control start and end pages
(just guessing..).
Anybody might correct me, if I am wrong.
