How to send a file to a certain printer at the local network?

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is there any Java API (standard or free packages) that allows to send a certain file from the filesystem to a certain printer at the local network, not necessarily the default one that the machine the code is running on is using? In case there is one, a code example could be nice...

Hi Roy,

There is a library part of the standard java for printing and searching printers. Have a look at the package

javax.print

A google search with the package name will lead to tutorials and code samples I guess.
