I print batch print jobs, but I only print 20ish pages per batch. The way I do it, is to output the PDF to disk, and then use ghostscript to convert the output to Postscript or PCL depending on which printer it is going to. I have a shell script that runs my java program to do the PDF, and then does the conversion, and then puts it into the printer queue. It also saves a copy of the PDF, so that if anything goes wrong, I can just reprint the PDF file. I would suggest that you make your java program drop out PDF files for a smaller subset of the whole batch. Say 100 pages a time. So you end up with 30-50 pdf files to print. Let your print spooler do the job of feeding them all to the printer. Maybe you could put a `hidden` very small batch number onto each document, so that if something goes wrong, you can reprint that batch.
