Thanks, pls can you send me the exact link or the source code.
I had searched for it but could not get anything.
 
There is one example called java.com.lowagie.examples.general.webapp.SilentPrintServlet
but that doesnt seem to work. Are you talking about the same one??

You can silent print PDF from Java code.  I implemented it recently and it works great.  go an take a look at the example on itext web site there is an example how to implement silent print.  basically you will be writing _javascript_ for PDF when creating the PDF using ITEXT.

depending on your OS, this might work:

% lpr thedocument.pdf

but you need to be more specific about your environment.
