String schemaName = "hr";
String schemaPass = "hr;
reportPath = "D:\\Project\\Reports";
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(urlSchema, schemaName, schemaPass);
reportPath = reportPath.endsWith("\\") ? reportPath : (reportPath + "\\");
input = new File(reportPath + reportName + ".jasper");
reportParameters.put("SUBREPORT_DIR", reportPath);
reportParameters.put("P_IMAGE_PATH", reportPath);
jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(input.getPath(), reportParameters, conn);
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + reportNameOutput + ".pdf");
OutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(jasperPrint, outputStream);
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
conn.close();{code}

If you offer a PDF to the end user, they usually know what to do with it. OTOH, if you wish to provide software to facilitate the local printing, you might launch an application on the client side that accesses the JNLP API's PrintService - that can be done in a sandboxed application.
A signed application might access the normal J2SE based print services. Though I heard that Sun had decided to make printing a 'prompt on first attempt' deal - even for sandboxed apps., from 1.5 plus (or was it 1.6 plus?).
It would be a serious security bug if a web site could print on the client printer, without trust or active involvement from the end user.
