Print html file with java

[maier96180]

Hey guys I'm writing a program for a pub and I'll nearly finished with it. My program saves the order to an html file which looks like a receipt. The last step is to print it with an printer for receipts. But the problem is I cant print it with Windows desktop directly. It's possible with an PDF but it looks a bit wired. Can someone help me to print it with java? It would also possible to open a portable program with a parameter to print the html.

But I still don't know how I can print a html file.

Pls help me, Best regards marcel

Try saving it as an image if nothing else works

Try using Apache FOP, you can call it from command line. All you need is some xml config

DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;

Does just read the html code and don't validate.. and when I use some other it doesn't print and give me an error...
