hi again,
To print pdf in a swing application you don't need servlet.jar.
You'll only need itext.jar and a printer connected to your pc.
Download the iText source code and unzip it. See the following classes:
com.lowagie.tools.LPR and com.lowagie.tools.BuildTutorial. This latter is the main class of a swing tool that you can run.
Silent Print:
You have only to embed this javascript code in your pdf:
writer.addJavaScript("this.print(false);", false);
                    document.add(new Chunk("Silent Auto Print"));Then, you have to send the document to the printer.
Google : java print pdf
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=523898 or
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.print/pkg.html for printing task.
Under unix system, I used this:
                       String PRINTER = ...;
               try {
                    String cmd = "lp -d " + PRINTER + " " + PDF_PATH;
                    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", cmd });
               } catch (Exception e) {
                             //handle the exception
                             e.printStackTrace();
               }hth
