I think you would be better off waiting until you had accumulated the
entire file before printing. Otherwise you may get just tiny dribbles
at a time, which will tie up your printer for hours. Execing to print
will likely start a fresh page for each burst. See

See the code in the com.mindprod.http package to read a socket input
stream coming in a bit at a time. See
