Subject: Printing PDF on the client
default printer.
Just wanted everyone to know that I have successfully implemented client
side printing using FOP....
Eg: If the XML file gets created on the webserver which is located in Los
Angeles and the user in London, then the XML is converted to PDF and the PDF
file is printed on the clients default printer in London.
Thanks
Manoj

****************************** I had posted this in the fop-user group and the responses indicated that there is no way this can be implemented currently. Just wanted an opinion from the fop-dev crowd. Thanks ******************************
My requirement is to render an XML as a PDF and then print the PDF on the clients default printer. I dont want the PDF to prompt user to open the acrobat reader.
I already have an applet on the client side which uses PrinterJob class to popup the printer selection box on client side.
Now how do I redirect the content from server to this printer?
Should I use Driver.RENDER_PRINT / Driver.RENDER_PCL set in the fop driver renderer ? and what content type should the response object return?
Thanks Manoj
PS: I have successfully use the FopPrinter example ( FopPrintServlet ) to print pdfs on the app servers default printer but what I need is to be able to print on the clients default printer and not on servers printer.
