Can anyone give a solution of how to print an HTML file using the
JPS(java printing service). My printer does not support 'text/html'
docflavor.

You might look into how to feed it to a browser and get the browser to
print it. Java's out the box HTML rendering is pathetic. See

Other possibilities are to convert the HTML to PDF ahead of time.
