How to print to an OutputStream (PCL) ?

[pnicolay]

Hi,

I've JasperReports running native on iSeries (AKA AS/400) generating PDF documents, however I also want to print these reports.  I looked at various topics about printing, but I can't find any method that sends the report to an OutputStream (which is what I need to send data to an iSeries printer directly).

If I use JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(print, myOutputStream) the printer ofcourse gets the PDF (which it doesn't understand, and so prints rubbish) instead of PCL5 data (which it would be able to print).

Is JasperReports capable of generating a PCL data stream (I would think it does because it can print on my Windows PC) ?

Thanks,
Paul
