How do I send an flyingsaucer generated pdf to printer?

Question

I've had success creating pdf using flyingsaucer in java. But I'd like instead of saving the pdf in hard disk, send the pdf straight to printer. Or is it job done by another library.

Answer 1

Flying-saucer doesn't support printing, but you can try java's printing service as described here. Maybe JPedal is an option, but it's not free (Example).
