How to print to a specific printer in client side programmatically in silent mode?

Hello.

I need to print to a specific printer programmatically, but I need to do it in silent mode, don't show to the user the preview.

This need to be in application over web logic, I mean, in application loaded in the server, because there are some examples where you get the printer successfully running locally, but when you deploy your application it didn't work.

Reading about my problem I found the option of an applet, however this is an old solution and the applet is not a good solution.

I also tried to put the printer in network, through the linux server with samba, but I think it's a risky solution, and the application need to run in several computers at the same time in different places, and every new printer have to be installed in server.

Do you have an idea for do that?

Maybe some implementation example?

Regards.
