The javax.print stuff is local to the JVM being executed. Assuming that you're dealing with a server-side application (i.e. your question is marginally relevant to the struts-user list), you can potentially accomplish this using JavaScript. But since essentially you'd have to (on the client using JavaScript): 1) Grab the file 2) Launch Acrobat Reader and instruct IT to print the file This might be easier said than done. But someone else might have experience with doing this using JavaScript. The important thing I wanted to express is that you won't be able to do it using Java raw because in a server-side application you don't actually have any Java running on the client's machine: the java is entirely executing on the server.
