in my desktop application (POS System). I used IText api for generating invoices and printing, but my printer thermal invoice printer don't support .pdf file. only supporting text file and .docx file. i use simple text file printer print whole invoice in long vertical single word line and don't auto cut page. I used .docx file which works good, i got print as i designed. but my program first open document in ms word then give me print. my code is:
try < FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(FILE); XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(); CTBody body = doc.getDocument().getBody(); if(!body.isSetSectPr())< body.addNewSectPr(); >CTSectPr section = body.getSectPr(); if(!section.isSetPgSz()) < section.addNewPgSz(); >CTPageSz pageSize = section.getPgSz(); pageSize.setOrient(STPageOrientation.PORTRAIT); int value = 4000+(gui.model.getRowCount()*1000); pageSize.setW(BigInteger.valueOf(4050)); pageSize.setH(BigInteger.valueOf(value)); CTPageMar pageMar = section.addNewPgMar(); pageMar.setLeft(BigInteger.valueOf(400L)); pageMar.setTop(BigInteger.valueOf(0L)); pageMar.setRight(BigInteger.valueOf(0L)); pageMar.setBottom(BigInteger.valueOf(0L)); XWPFParagraph para = doc.createParagraph(); para.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.LEFT); XWPFRun run = para.createRun(); para.setWordWrap(true); run.setBold(true); run.setFontSize(10); run.setText(" "+address.shopName); run.addBreak(); run.setText(" "+address.phoneNo); run.addBreak(); run.setText(" "+address.description); run.addBreak(); para = doc.createParagraph(); para.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.LEFT); run = para.createRun(); para.setWordWrap(true); run.setFontSize(10); run.setText("Invoice No."+invoiceno); run.addBreak(); run.setText("Type: "+table); run.addBreak(); run.setText("Customer Name: "+name+" "+tempObj); run.addBreak(); run.setText("--------------------------------------------------------"); run.addBreak(); run.setText("Product Qty Price Total"); run.addBreak(); run.setText("--------------------------------------------------------"); run.addBreak(); String temp = null; for(int i = 0 ; i < gui.table.getRowCount(); i++)< temp = gui.table.getValueAt(i, 1).toString(); String quanstr = gui.table.getValueAt(i, 2)+""; String unitPricestr = gui.table.getValueAt(i, 3)+""; String totalstr =gui.table.getValueAt(i, 4)+""; run.setText(temp);run.addBreak(); run.setText(" "+quanstr+" "+unitPricestr+" "+totalstr); run.addBreak(); >double subTotal = tableTotalCounter(); run.setText("--------------------------------------------------------");run.addBreak(); run.setText("Discount: "+dis+"%");run.addBreak(); run.setText("Sub total: "+(subTotal - (subTotal*dis/100)));run.addBreak(); run.setText("Cash: "+cash);run.addBreak(); run.setText("Balance: "+(cash-(subTotal - (subTotal*dis/100)))); run.addBreak(); doc.write(output); output.close(); > catch (FileNotFoundException e1) < // TODO Auto-generated catch block System.out.println("Exception"); e1.printStackTrace(); >catch (IOException e) < // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); System.out.println("Exception"); >if(confirmation("Print invoice?","Confirmation")==0) < Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop(); try < desktop.print(new File(FILE)); >catch (IOException e) < e.printStackTrace(); >> please tell me how to print without getting that file open. and there is any other way to print invoice.
