Class PrintUtil

java.lang.Object

de.tsl2.nano.util.PrintUtil

public class PrintUtil
extends Object

provides generic print convenience methods for non-interactive prints.

NOTE-1: use 'PCL6 Driver for Universal Print' or 'PDFCreator' to test the printing.

NOTE-2: PCL-Problem: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/output.html:
If you run into the problem that the printed output is incomplete on Windows: this often happens to users printing to a PCL printer. There seems to be an incompatibility between Java and certain PCL printer drivers on Windows. Since most network-enabled laser printers support PostScript, try switching to the PostScript printer driver for that printer model.
