Historically, I haven't been able to print from within Java because I
must be able to turn duplex on and off and specify a source paper tray
(one has paper, one has labels, and different jobs go to each). I
never got that to work except via lpr. Though, it's probably been a
couple years since I tried because the current system works. :)
I'll try the snapshot and code change when I get a chance.
Thanks,
Aaron
