Hi Guy, The print(PrinterJob job) method of PDDocument calls job.printDialog() which shows the system print dialog where the user can specify custom print settings.
Window services run under a non-interactive user account, rather than running as the current user. That means you won’t see the print dialog, and you won’t get any of the default print settings belonging to the your desktop user. I suspect that your desktop user has set some custom printing preferences and these are being passed to Java either via printDialog() or as the PrinterJob defaults. Try calling the silentPrint(job) method on PDDocument to bypass the dialog. If that does not work, you will need to specify the print settings you want using the PrinterJob object. -- John > On 11 Jan 2015, at 05:44, [email protected] wrote: > > Hello > > We launch as a dos command an application that listen incoming request to > print documents with PDFBOX: > PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new URL(d[1])); > PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); > if (printer == null) { > System.out.println("printer " + d[0] + " not found.
