Hello all,
I have a client who needs to print onto a dot matrix (in order to get carbon
copies). Of course, the report I'm generating isn't all that legible, which
I think has something due to printing from pdf.
Are there any tips for building reports that work with dot matrix? Certain
fonts and font sizes to work with? Style settings?
Thanks,

Is this server side printing or client side printing?

This is the java code used to find the printers:
public static List findPrinters( )
{
List printers = new ArrayList( );
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet( );
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
PrintService[] printServices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(
flavor, pras );
if ( printServices != null )
{
for ( int i = 0; i < printServices.length; i++ )
{
PrintService service = printServices[i];
printers.add( createPrinter( service ) );
}
}
return printers;
}
My guess is that:
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet( );
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
PrintService[] printServices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(
flavor, pras );
it may be that the lookup is not returning the dot matrix because of the
postscript flavor. You could write a quick command line app to verify.
