printing in Java

[Jason Kretzer <jrkretzer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I saw this thread on another JUG and decided to post
it here as the other JUG is still debating it.

Lets say you have a very simple Notepad style editor
written in Java, like the Notepad that comes with SDK.
 How would one add functionality to allow the app to
print?  For both a networked and connected printer?

It has been suggested that you use a FileOutputStream
and just point it at the (lets say for Windows) COM1
port.

Are there better ways than this?
