Sounds interesting. How is it suppose to work? Is it going to route a
document file and print it using the printer driver? or are you gonna
communicate directly to the printer and send it print data?
I think it could be useful in the sense that you could expose the
printer as a resource in the jbi environment. i.e. you could lets say
accept a client request through http, and orchestrate a couple of
components together to add the request to the db, mail the client for
followup, and maybe automatically print a contract or something like
that. I don't know just playing with the idea. :-P

Anyone has experience of a component able to send the output to a

Is there something that I can use or I'll have to develop something new?
In the case could it be usefull?
Luca,
I haven't seen anyone developing a component like this yet. I'm not
completely on what you're describing so let me ask a couple of
questions. I assume that any binding component (BC) for this purpose
would connect to a print server. Don't print servers only handle
PostScript or something similar? Are you really going to the trouble
of converting XML into PostScript?
