In the program a file is created to print it. the method who print that file is as follows:

public void imprimir(String ticketName){
    DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
    //use the default printer
    PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
    if (service != null) {
        try {
            //create a print job
            DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
            //attributes of the job
            DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(ticket+".txt");
            Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis,flavor,das);
            try {
                //the job is send it to the printer
                job.print(doc,null);
            }
            catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
} 

Answer 1

I’ve found the problem it was the path of the file to print, tomcat creates the file in the root of the folder when my application print in the path of the warfile
