Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for "batch" printing of reports via an EJB. What I mean by batch is that a report would be generated via some business logic, and the result would get printed directly to a printer (via a printer queue JNDI env prop) with no user interraction. Is this a bad idea? Is this possible? I was thinking I could do this in a SSB. A couple of ideas thus far: 1) Open a connection to lp/lpr - this is how Sun's java impl does it 2) use java2d to create to PrinterJob (isn't this overkill for a simple text report) of course, this still uses #1 to do the dirty work 3) use ipp with cups and use the Http* classes What are other people doing?
