Re: Printing from java

[Rune Kaus <rune@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all and thanx for all of your suggestions.

Sorry for being unclear in my problem description.
Let me just explain a few important issues that regards this case.
The user is *not* an i5 user.
All the user does is select a template (.rtf) and selects a dataset to 
be merged into the template. The template is .rtf for the users to 
easily edit it using their "favourite" word processor.
The process of merging the data with the template is all batch 
(/mail-merge/), and may result in hundreds of different documents (so 
displaying them all is not an option).
The resulting documents are to be printed on a predefined or selected 
network printer. If it helps that this printer is defined on the i5, so 
be it.

Anyone?
