To xhy_china, can you describe the series of actions you would like to see happen for this answer? Something like.... - User visit company search web page. - User select search parameters - click 'search' - User decide on products - click 'buy' - Report is printed on server side.

If user presses print button on his browser, server will print the paper with the printer that user specified before in application. But the printer is not added on both server and client machine, it only have an IP. So which classes can I use in Java to implement this function and how?

The server is not going to see printers on the client side. Perhaps an applet, appropriately signed (do you have to sign applets to print?), could print, but I don't think it can tell the server about the printer. Likewise with a Java WebStart app. SignatureLew > > My problem is: > > I have a web application.

When user press print button, application will select printer according to userid form db to do printing job on server side. So the selected printer may not be added on server machine, but I want to use this printer by java program(in silent way). How can I implement this?

The only way this could possibly make sense to me is if you have an Intranet application used within a single corporation and the printers are all of the same type, connected to the network in the same way. For example if all the printers were HP LaserJet model P2xxx or 4xxx connected using JetDirect then you could emit a subset of Postscript to them, making a TCP connection to port 9100 at the printer's IP-address. Either the server application would have to construct the Postscript directly or use a Postscript driver whose output is known to work on all the models of printer deployed. The driver might be set to print-to-file so that you can read the output for onward transmission. Of course you could probably do the same using another PDL such as PCL5 but I happen to like Postscript :-) If the client is a web browser I'd look into using that to perform the printing in a more "normal" way. DHTML, AJAX, applets, whatever. Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months. There are no hidden fees and no obligation.
