_Advice on how to print html from an applet_

I have been working on this problem for a little while, but still can't find a good solution. I ask for any help/advice I can receive on this matter.
Below is what I have already tried:
1) Place the HTML within a JEditorPane and print the graphics object.
* In order to do this I would have to display the HTML, which I do not want to do.
* I have also tried placing the HTML within a JEditorPane and not display it, but I get no data from printing the graphics object.
2) Print the View classes that contain the text by placing the html into a JEditorPane ex) JEditorPane.getUI().getRootView(jeditorPane).
* This method is how the following article prints HTML: http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2002_12/online/print_kgauthier_12_10_02/
* This class prints each "leaf" view, which unfortunately will not print lists or table borders b/c they are contained in "branch" views. I have not been able to convert this class to print the branch views in a nice looking format.
3) Use a DocFlavor of type "text/html" and send document to the printer.
* Some printers can render html, but these are few and far between. Most printers I am dealing with do not accept type text/html.
Below are some things I am thinking about trying:
1) Convert the HTML to postscript and print the postscript.
* I have no clue how to do this. I have searched the internet for code and found nothing but perl code (but I am using a java applet).
2) Save the html file to users disk and open html file in new browser window. Then use javascript print function.
* I really do not want to have to save files to the users disk just to print. This seems like the easiest way, but is also the least user-convient way.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on printing HTML using java. Should I re-examine the methods I already tried? Can anyone give input on the methods I am planning to try? I would think this is a common problem, but I am having a hard time finding answers.
Thanks for your interest and any help you can provide :)

I tried the Java printing API in 1.4.2 but found it hopeless in terms of printing anything without using AWT.
Also since the print service was going to be on Windows machine I used jawin (http://sf.net/projects/jawinproject/) to query the registry for the command to print a particular extension and then exec that command.

How to print HTML to a remote Server

Ho guys my problem is only this
how to print HTML to a remote Server
i hav used JavaPrintService for it javax.print....
The Doc Flavor i used is
DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM_TEXT_HTML_HOST;
and with simple print attribute set but it doesnt locates
the PrintSerivces.
Plz try this code on your system(Jdk1.4 beta) and see whether it detects PrintServices or not
import java.io.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.print.event.*;
public class PrintHTML {
FileReader readfile;
Doc doc;
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          PrintHTML ps = new PrintHTML();
     public PrintHTML() {
          DocFlavor flavor =DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM_TEXT_HTML_HOST;
          PrintRequestAttributeSet aset =
               new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
          aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
          // aset.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
          aset.add(new Copies(1));
PrintService[] pservices =
               PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset);
if (pservices.length > 0) {
               System.out.println("Available printer " + pservices[0].getName());
               System.out.println("Available printer " + pservices[1].getName());
               System.out.println("Available printer " + pservices[2].getName());

The documentation is misleading. You cannot directly print HTML. See:

How to print photos from my iphone?

I have the HP Photosmart C309a,(wireless) and would like to know how to print photos from my iphone 3G.
I have the "app" "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but I don't know if it's compatible with my printer?

The app is compatible with your printer IF it is connected to a network (not via USB to a printer).
If it is not working restart your router by pulling its power plug momentarily.

How to print information from my Apple I Pad to my HP Photosmart D110 series printer ?

Hello 518,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
It would appear that the HP Photosmart Plus 209B is not compatible with AirPrint. Without AirPrint you can only print via an App.
I suggest the ePrint App. Getting Started with HP ePrint Mobile Apps<---

Print HTML from Java

Hello All,
can anyone please provide example code of how to print an html-file from localhost by Java-code ?
Thanx a lot !!

Not sure what you are asking. You've mentioned several different things.
One is printing - do you mean to put something on paper? There should be examples on how to print a file if you do a search.
The other is 'from localhost' - this implies a socket to connect to 127.0.0.1 - Does your code connect to an HTTP server, issue a HTTP GET for an HTML page?
Again there should be sample code for connecting to a server and reading the response if you do a search.

How to print html file on client system without viewing data on client syst

How to print report from JSP Page

Hi Everybody,
I am developing a simple project in JSP with MS Access. I hav some tables and reports for them. I hav a JSP page which gets inputs from user and save it in the table. Its working fine. But my problems are,
1) I hav a button called "SAVE & PRINT" in that bottom of the page, if i click that button, the currently entered data has to save in the table and the same data has to print from the MS Access report. I dont know how to print this report from JSP page.
2) Another button called "REPRINT". If i click that button, it has to ask a number to print the report page, that number is nothing but a field in that report.
Could anyone help me to solve this problem.

How to Serve HTML from a Proxy Service?

I am trying to serve HTML from a proxy service.
I set up a Messaging Service with request type = 'None' and response type = 'Text'; with Endpoint URL = '/OSB_Project/Proxy_Services/InfoPingerProxyService.html'.
In my incoming request pipeline I set an html Transport Header action to define Content-Type = 'text/html'.
In the response pipeline I replace the body with the html document contents...
Trouble is, when I access the proxy (via a standard browser GET), I always produce an XML file with an <?xml...?> processing instruction:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
Also: the browser always sees an XML response regardless, it seems.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
Cheers,
Alph

More on this.
I made an "educated guess' that the path should be
{code}./ctx:transport/ctx:response/tp:headers/http:Content-Type{code}
But take a look at the following, you will see that the content type IS now text/html, but the XML processing instruction is still there...
{code}

{code}
(I know that the actual CONTENT [ie "<server>8088</server"] is not really HTML at the moment...this is just intermediate testing content...)
Back to the issue of how to get rid of that processing instruction...
The proxy service is configured as a messaging service with request = none and response = text.
