Hi !
Thank you for the reply.
But this does not really help me. I am looking for a solution where I can
choose one of several installed printers (on a windows-system; by its name
perhaps, not via dialog) from within my java program and then send the generated
pdf (or ps as alternative) to the printer. Seems like the jdk itself does
not have some solution like that...
JDK 1.4 does provide classes for interogating the O/S for a list of installed printers. So you may be able to write some classes that do what you want. Its a bit fiddly though.
FOP doesnt make use of the Java Print API because it needs to work on JDK 1.3, which I'm glad about because upgrading for my company would be a nightmare.
Chris
