David, all,
I'd like to clarify that this issue is not strictly related to OFBiz and
service calls.
It is an issue probably caused by my ignorance on the usage of the
javax.print API:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/print/package-summary.html
In that service I've just tried to implement what is described at the
bottom of that page; to that, I've added the code to search for a
printer by its URI.
Unfortunately, this is really the first time I play with this java api
and I'm not even sure if the approach I've followed is correct.
Even if this is a bit off topic in this list, if you could provide
suggestions on how to locate a lan printer (by printer name/address)
using the javax.printer api, I promise I will fix that service.
David, if it is simpler for you, you could try to implement a simple
Java class (following the pattern used in the above link) and try to
print a file with it; once you understand how this can be done I'll move
the code to the OFBiz service.
A second option could be to try to post this question ("How do I locate
and print to a lan printer using javax.print api?") to one of the many
Java forums in the Internet

I have tried this, and have had no luck. I'm using this in
WorkWithShipmentPlans.bsh:
//----------
Map screenInMap = UtilMisc.toMap("orderId", "WS10000");
String printerName = "LaserJet-2420";
Map inMap = UtilMisc.toMap("screenLocation",
"component://order/widget/ordermgr/OrderPrintForms.xml#ShipGroupsPDF",
"printerName", printerName,
"userLogin", userLogin,
"screenContext", screenInMap);
dispatcher.runAsync("sendPrintFromScreen", inMap);

and I've modified this line in PrintServices.java:
//------------
String errMsg = "The following printer was not found: [" +
printerUriObj.toString() + "].";
//------------
and I've verified that I can print to this printer from Linux:
//------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lpstat -dP
system default destination: LaserJet-2420
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lpr -P LaserJet-2420 planes
//------------
and I get this error message in the OfBiz Log:

Thoughts?

Yes, literally millions of examples.
However, this morning I've committed a first draft of the service in
svn so I'd suggest you to update your local copy with a clean trunk
and then you can test it, for example, in this way:
//============================
Map screenInMap = UtilMisc.toMap("orderId", orderId);
Map inMap = UtilMisc.toMap("screenLocation",
"component://order/widget/ordermgr/OrderPrintForms.xml#OrderPDF",
"printerName", "//server/printer",
"userLogin", userLogin,
"screenContext", screenInMap);
dispatcher.runAsync("sendPrintFromScreen", inMap);
//============================
A quick way to run this code is to copy it at the bottom of a bsh
script, for example:
applications/manufacturing/webapp/manufacturing/WEB-INF/actions/jobshopmgt/WorkWithShipmentPlans.bsh
then you'll submit the service call every time you'll visit the page:
https://localhost:8443/manufacturing/control/WorkWithShipmentPlans
You can edit the bsh script without the need to build and restart the
server.

I think it's a LocalDispatcher, but don't quote me on that. Anyway
there's
a million examples in code, just search for runSync

Thanks! That's the line I was missing. I must ask, though, what class
is "dispatcher" and how do I construct it?
(I think I was dealing with ServiceXaWrapper)
