Printing client side with Applet!!!

Question

Hi,
Does anyone can help me with my applet. It must get the current page and print it in landscape out over at the user side (local printer).
Here some sample of my source to help....
// JavaScript part
function print(){
var myURL = document.location.href;
alert(myURL);
testApplet.print(myURL);
// Applet part
public class MyClass extends Applet implements Pageable, Printable {
// .... some source ...
public void print(String myURL) throws IOException, PrinterException {
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat landscape = job.defaultPage();
Paper sheet = new Paper();
sheet.setImageableArea(0,0,landscape.getImageableWidth()+ (landscape.getImageableX()*2),landscape.getImageableHeight()+(landscape.getImageableY()*2));
landscape.setPaper(sheet);
landscape.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
JTextPane txt = new JTextPane();
txt.setPage(myURL);
// this method initialise the parameters for the printing
initialise(txt.getText(), landscape);
job.setPageable(this);
job.print(); ///// THE PROBLEM IS HERE
java.awt.print.PrinterException: No print service found.

I have printers define and they worked well. Also, I have use the same code but without the Applet (calliing it from the main and with a static url) and it work perfectly. I'm pretty sure it's the Applet who's causing trouble.
Anyone has any idea or sample to help me?
Thanks

It has to do with the JS call to the print method. I got around it by calling my printData() method in a separate thread...
try something like this:
============================
public void jsPrintData()
if ( isPrinting )
return;
isPrinting = true;
Thread runner = new Thread()
public void run()
printData();
runner.start();
