Is there a way to define which printers are to be used for server side printing? I am able to get the dialog box to pop up but there are no printers to choose from to print to.

I have multiple printers installed on this machine either via a print server or directly installed and nothing shows up.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The web viewer uses the following code to find server side 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;
}

So the printer must support postscript. Do your printer definitions
support it?
