title: Server-side network printing in java / grails
body: <p>I am java / grails developer working on redesigning a software system.</p>
  
  <p>One of the requirements is to have a sever-side application send data to various network printers to print text data.</p>
  
  <p>I searched the web for info on java network printing, and came up short
  I looked into Java Print Service API, java.awt.print, javax.print and did not find anything on connecting to network printers.</p>
  
  <p>Is what I am trying to do possible or favorable. The lack of findings leads me to believe that sever-side software does not interact with network printers directly.</p>
  
  <p>If it can be done, please point me to some resources.</p>
