I have integrated PDFRender API via the a servlet called PDFRendererServlet.
I am running tomcat (6.x) as the app server. I use eclipse ide installed on macbook pro. When I run the server and test locally it works fine (say, http://localhost:8080/pdfWeb/PDFRendererServlet).
While the server is running on the macbook, and test the print capability via a IE from the windows XP desktop computer (which is in network), I see the print dialog box on the macbook rather than on the windows XP desktop computer.
Appreciate if someone could help me out what am I doing wrong or any other fix or code modifications needed. Following is the code:
PDFRendererServlet.java_
public class PDFRendererServlet extends HttpServlet {
/**

HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException{

}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException{

PrintPdf printPDFFile;
try {
printPDFFile = new PrintPdf(fis, "Test Print PDF");
printPDFFile.print();
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
