How to print a report on crystal report server using webservice call

Question

Hi,
I'm looking for web service api calls that help print a report on the crystal report server. Can someone post a snippet of how this is done.
Thanks,

Below is a snippet that uses the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 version of the BIPlatform Web Services Java Consumer API:

/* Printer name */
String printerName = "\\\\van-s-prt01\\VAN-P-BEAVERCREEK";
/* URL to Enterprise Web Services */
String servicesURL = "http://localhost:8080/dswsbobje/services";
Session ceSession = null;
Connection ceConnection = new Connection(new URL(servicesURL + "/session"));
EnterpriseCredential ceCredential = new EnterpriseCredential();
ceCredential.setDomain(cmsname);
ceCredential.setAuthType(authType);
ceCredential.setLogin(username);
ceCredential.setPassword(password);
try {
     ceSession = new Session(ceConnection);
     ceSession.login(ceCredential);
     ceConnection.setURL(new URL(servicesURL + "/biplatform"));
     BIPlatform bip = new BIPlatform(ceConnection, ceSession.getConnectionState());
     GetOptions getOpts =new GetOptions();
     getOpts.setIncludeSecurity(Boolean.FALSE);
     ResponseHolder rh = bip.get(reportPath, getOpts);
     InfoObjects infoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
     CrystalReport report = (CrystalReport) infoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
     ReportProcessingInfo processing = report.getPluginProcessingInterface();
    CrystalReportPrinterOptions printerOptions = processing.getReportPrinterOptions();
    printerOptions.setEnabled(Boolean.TRUE);
    printerOptions.setPrinterName(printerName);
     report.setSchedulingInfo(new SchedulingInfo());
     report.getSchedulingInfo().setRightNow(Boolean.TRUE);
     bip.schedule(infoObjects);
} finally {
     if(ceSession != null)
          ceSession.logout();
