* Get the value from the properties file to print to
* the appropriate printer (Preferred Printer)
* Property names are
* 1. PRINTER_1
* 2. PRINTER_2
* Example :-
* PRINTER_1=Microsoft Office Document Image Writer
* PRINTER_2=\\\\igtewf39\\TVS MSP 345/Champion/XL Classic
* PRINTER_2 is having the proper value while PRINTER_1 is not.
* Printer name should have the server name Pre-fixed to it.
String prefferedPrinter = null;
if(args.length > 0) {
System.out.println("args0" + args[0]);
if(args[0].equals("1")) {
prefferedPrinter = m_pr.getProperty("PRINTER_1");
else {
prefferedPrinter = m_pr.getProperty("PRINTER_2");
* Get the printer from the list.
* Print the contents to the printer
* There might be lot of Printers configured in the system
* We have to get the contents printed on our preferred Printer.
PrintService[] array = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().lookupPrintServices();
int device= -1;
for (int i=0; i<array.length;i++)
if(prefferedPrinter.equalsIgnoreCase(array.getName())) device=i;
try {
prnJob.setPrintService(prnJob.lookupPrintServices()[device]);
// The number of copies can be changed to 2 or three . Default will be one.
prnJob.setCopies(1);
prnJob.print();
     } catch (Exception PrintException) {
     PrintException.printStackTrace();

Most printers will not print to the very edge of the paper if the printer has been told what size paper is loaded and that is, in fact, what is loaded. Check the printer printing limits.
