Throw away the code that generates a JasperPrint object and tries to print it. (All of the code, in other words, except maybe the first line.) As you found, that tries to print on the machine where the code is running. Replace it by Jasper code that produces PDF or HTML, and send that as the response. Let the person sitting at the browser deal with printing it if they want.
