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.
