Yes - w/o a certificate.
I think we are printing from an applet without the stuff mentioned below (jdk
1.2.2). Correct me if I am wrong. When printing from a Printable we are prompted
with a dialog box which asks the user whether they will allow printing. We think
this checks the security manager to check printablility and a dialog box appears
asking the user for permision.
We removed our applet signing yesterday and found that the printing still
worked.

Yes, you can print from an applet but the applet must be a trusted one.
As an applet has to run in the browser sandbox which does not allow to
access local machine resources but if the applet is made secured by
signing it by a certified authority. There are different ways and tools
for java 1.1.x and java 1.2.x.(jarsigner and keytool ). Also if you are
using java 1.2 than you can set permission in java.policy.
for more details please refer to www.java.sun.com.
