printing the ms excel file through java

[subodh gupta]

Hi Guys,

I want to print the ms excel file which has been generated through poi on a click of a button on jsp can somebody guide me throgh this?

Since you mention JSPs, I assume you want to print on the client. There may be some ActiveX control that can do this in IE, but otherwise it's not possible.

client and server have the same printer config...

ok let me explain

if user click the print button

than the request goes to server where it takes the template from database replces the keys with value through POI and now i have the xls file waited to be printed and since server and client have the same printer attached to it.

My client wants me to send it to the printer and if operation succeds show some flag up so that he can collect the print out.
