I can believe it. But the problem is that I know of no utility that comes
with Windows that will print a graphic file via command-line invocation. You
can probably do a Google search or possibly even check SourceForge for such
a program.
Of course, you can try differnt things to improve the printing performance
of your Java application, including creating a graphic and just printing
that. As it is, I do not know how much work you have done when it comes to
that. This might be the only solution (i.e. spawning an external program to
print a JPEG file) that you can come up with that is satisfactory.
