Using Jasper Reports 6.x to print to Thermal Printer Tape Printer

Question

I am looking for an example of how to print to a thermal printer using Jasper Reports. This is an accounting solution, which prints a "Balance" tape, therefore I am not sure how long the paper will be. I need to print this to a networked printer. I am unsure on how to set up the template and can't find an example.

This is what I am looking to do.

I was hoping someone has solved this using Jasper Reports, and could point me in the correct direction.

Thanks.

1. Create a text field which will contain your list of amounts
2. Set the property Stretch with overflow to true this will let the field grow.
