Silent printing on clients printer for a hospital front desk ADF project

I am working on a Hospital front desk ADF project, here I need to generate visit slips these dont require print preview.I want to get to print the slips without any print dialogs nor do I want a popup window. I tried lot of stuff found on the net but nothing solid has come up.. Tried this.print on the Jasper report, tried the same through Java but I am getting dialog. I am working on an intranet so the security aspect is out of the discussion so how so I make this work?

Solution

  • Well I found out a way to do this.. 

    JRPdfExporter exporter = new JRPdfExporter();
        exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT,
                              "var pp = this.getPrintParams();pp.interactive=pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;pp.NumCopies=1; this.disclosed= true ;this.print({bUI: false,bSilent: false,bShrinkToFit: true,printParams:pp});");

    This adds pdf javascript to the generated pdf.. Once the pdf is displayed on the popup page it performs the silent print.. Hope this helps someone in the future..
