Re: Printing PDF on the client default printer.
This is how I did it.. 1) I used a invisible signed applet within the jsp page which renders the screen. 2) The user selects the documents to be printed and passes this info to the applet. 3) The applet take this info and calls a servlet which creates the corresponding XMLs. 4) The XSLTHandler within the applet then renders the pdf to the default printer on the client side. The XSLT input handler takes in the XSD and the created XML as its parameter during instanciation.. Sorry to be short as i am busy here but can get in detail if reqd..

Thanks Manoj PS: I have successfully use the FopPrinter example ( FopPrintServlet ) to print pdfs on the app servers default printer but what I need is to be able to print on the clients default printer and not on servers printer.
