Have done some research into this topic, but found no relevant answers. What I need is to print a number of PDF files on one of three forms, which are loaded into different trays of a particular printer. I need to specify which printer to use and it’s not the default printer. Additionally, I need to specify which tray to use based upon an attribute of each PDF file and be able to switch between them at run time. Java PrintService seems to only be interested in the local default printer. I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to accomplish this task. Thanks.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, but I think I have worked this out now. I’m using LPR for the printing and org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient for the tray switching commands. The actual tray commands are in text files. My tests (so far) have been successful and I did not have to install the printer on my workstation.
