Hello;
   I have a business requirement to print various sized barcode or Prescription 
labels(1x3 or 4x6) from a browser. Rather than having to use a third party 
vendor label designer which requires the label templates to be resident on the 
client, I'd have designed the labels as PDF templates using iText. The 
templates are then generated on the server embedded with Javascript Silent 
print action to be download to the browser window for printing. 

The only I have is to issue the PDF page size matches the label printer paper 
size. So far this seems to work as long as the client label printer paper size 
is manually set to match the PDF document size before printing. Alignment is 
not 100%, but its acceptable given the solution. I assume a need some sort of 
PCL to correct this which is not supported by PDF. 

Has anyone else done something similar? Is there a different approach? I am 
aware of GhostScript, but I'm trying to keep this a Java solution. Any info or 
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
John Strecker
