Hi: A question with regards to your own question.... Do you want the end user to be aware of this? I.E. Will the user be prompted...

G'day all, I'm hoping that someone here might be able to assist with a long standing problem. I'm looking for a drop in package that will enable silent printing when the user clicks a button/link on a web page and a byte stream is gemerated from an actioned performed by a servlet. For example, I have a number of applications hosted on an OC4J environment and it would be useful to have something whereby I could have the reports printed at the users end using the stream output from reports generated by JasperReports. I'm thinking that an applet would be required at the users end to bridge the RMI gap and this would then trigger the default printer say through the Adobe ActiveX plug-in? Perhaps alternatively this could be achieve using AJAX in some way? Code examples, how to's, details of existing packages and the like would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. AB
