MAXIMO Birt Direct Print

voller

We want to do some direct Print in a MAXIMO Birt Report to a Barcode Printer.
This Barcode Printer just accepts special ASCII values, for this reason we have to send string-values direct to the barcode-printer.

I have implemented a custom jar file with code below. However, when I start the report, deployed to maximo, this code tries to connect to the default printer at maximo server and NOT to the local default printer??
Does anyone know how to access the local default printer from maximo birt report?

Thanks a lot chris

public static void printString(String printdata)
{

PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
java.awt.print.PageFormat format = printJob.defaultPage();

try {
printJob.setPageable(new TextRenderer(printdata, format));
printJob.print();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
