Send a document directly to a printer

[Gorka Echevarría]

Hi,

Can anybody say me how can I send a document 
directly to a printer?
I have tried the following code to render the 
document to a printer using "Driver.RENDER_PCL", but it doesn´t work (i get the 
exception "file.io.FileNotFoundException")
 String printer 
="ntsrv_200//prn1"; FileOutputStream out = new 
FileOutputStream(printer); Driver driver = new 
Driver(input.getInputSource(),out);
 
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PCL); 
driver.run(); out.close();

Thanks in advance

I think it is not that easy to open a file connection to a printer like
it was in dos times (I don't know if it could be done in windows). I think
you can't open an OutputStream to a printer.
Well sorry enough I don't know how to send a file to a printer. Didn't have
to do it till now. Sorry.

Christian

P.S: DON'T USE BACKSLASHES - PLEASE!!! It's a windows thing!!! Use slashes 
in filenames for java !!

Hi Echevarría,
 
this looks like the program fails on FileOutputStream out = new
FileOutputStream(printer);
from API:
file:///C:/Data/zdv/lze%20smazat/jdk1.2.2/docs/api/java/io/FileNotFoundExce
ption.html FileNotFoundException - if the file exists but is a directory
rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot
be opened for any other reason
 
Try first to save the output to a regular file on the disk in order to
eliminate the FOP fault.
 
regards Zdenek

You may (and in this case: should) use slashes on windows machines,
but don't overdo it.
It's either //ntsrv_200/prn1 or ntsrv_200\\prn1.
