NONCONFIDENTIAL // EXTERNAL
Hi Tilman,

Our web application is built on JSF (XHTML) and Spring services. PDFbox code is 
on the server side. When we call the load PDF and print code on the server 
side, it gets the default printer of the computer's network where the server is 
running. Our clients are in 28 different locations. We would like the print job 
to grab client's default printer while printing. If you have an example for 
that please send it across. That'll be helpful. Appreciate your help!

Best Regards,
Murugan.

Please try the non PDFBox code below. If it also "didn't work as expected" then 
the cause is not related to PDFBox.


public class PDFBOX4935PrintDpi implements Printable {

     public static void main(String[] args) throws PrinterException
     {
         new PDFBOX4935PrintDpi().doStuff();
     }

     PDFBOX4935PrintDpi()
     {
     }

     void doStuff() throws PrinterException
     {
         PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); 
job.setPrintService(PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService());
         job.setPrintable(this);
         job.print();
     }

     @Override
     public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int index)
     {
         if (index == 0)
         {
             Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
             g2d.setFont(new Font("Courier", Font.PLAIN, 12));
             g2d.setColor(Color.BLACK);

             g2d.drawString("ScaleX: " + g2d.getTransform().getScaleX(),
                     (int) (pageFormat.getWidth() / 10), (int)
(pageFormat.getHeight() / 2));
             g2d.drawString("ScaleY: " + g2d.getTransform().getScaleY(),
                     (int) (pageFormat.getWidth() / 10), (int)
(pageFormat.getHeight() / 2) + 25);
             g2d.drawString("DPI:    " +
Math.round(g2d.getTransform().getScaleX() * 72),
                     (int) (pageFormat.getWidth() / 10), (int)
(pageFormat.getHeight() / 2) + 60);

             return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
         }
         return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
     }
}
