Interesting coincidence that I've done a few things in PrintRenderer today. With some fresh memory about this whole thing it was easy to come up with support for JPS, at least in FOP Trunk...
(some of the stuff below may be a bit fop-dev-ish. Forgive me.) The current PrintRenderer uses java.awt.print, i.e. the "old" Java printing API. Because the printing is started within the stopRenderer() method it is not possible in 0.94 to use PrintRenderer with JPS even though PrintRenderer readily implements Pageable and Printable. If you want to create a temporary solution with minimal effort, you could copy PrintRenderer.java and adjust it to JPS. That will work, is easy to do but is not a beautiful solution. I thought it should be possible to turn the PrintRenderer into a pure Pageable without active parts (i.e. it does not call PrintJob.print() or DocPrintJob.print()). That would make it usable for both java.awt.print and JPS. The best approach was to create a new renderer: PageableRenderer. This should only implement Pageable and provide the from/to and odd/even functionality that the PrintRenderer offers. PrintRenderer can then be derived from the PageableRenderer while preserving its original behaviour. This can now be found in FOP Trunk. I've added a minimal example, too: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/ExampleFO2JPSPrint.java?view=markup If you want to port this back to 0.94, you can try. Should be possible, too, without too many problems. The relevant changes are: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=649279&view=rev http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=649285&view=rev I'll be grateful for feedback on this as I don't have a real-life use-case for this, unfortunately, in which I could test this. It was simply fun to implement. ;-) HTH On 17.04.2008 19:20:30 David J wrote: > > We are upgrading to FOP 0.94 from 0.20.5 (on Java 1.5).
