We have an applet which downloads and manages its own fonts for
the display of DVI documents. We would like to be able to print
these documents, and as a matter of fact are able to generate
PostScript if need be. Anyone know of a way of printing within
a applet?
The only way we can think of is to generate the PostScript, send
it back to the host, and then do a showDocument to a URL that
points to the PostScript, which the browser might then be able
to display (or at least download). Not very elegant (or
efficient).
What we really want is a printer graphics context. Anyone know
if/when this is happening or have another suggestion?
