Hi Eric, Do you run FOP standalone from the command line, or do you embed it in your own app? The reason I ask is because the example embedding.ExampleFO2OldStylePrint.java in examples/embedding/java of the FOP 0.95 source illustrates the minimal utility of java.awt.print.PrinterJob for printing, and you may be able to adapt it for your own needs. I am not familiar with PrinterJob but I am guessing it can be configured with your printer destination etc.
The FOP docs are a little minimal see: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/output.html#print http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html#awt They do explain that the available fonts are those configured on your OS, and that PrintRenderer uses java2D to create the output. I briefly took a look at the trunk code, and I do notice any functional improvements made to the PrintRenderer. However, upgrading your version of FOP from 0.95 to trunk is recommenced if possible. I hope some of this helps!
