PROGRAMMATICALLY PRINT WITHIN WEB START

Java Web Start is an application sandbox employed as a security measure
against malicious programs, but its inherent restrictions also deny
certain levels of application functionality such as the ability to print.
Java developers asked to provide applications that can function normally
within Web Start must know the proper methods for circumventing these
restrictions without compromising security.

Web Start essentially insulates contained programs from system
resources, notably network printers. The simplest method for restoring 
printing functionality is to "sign" your Java code and request that the
user grant your application permission to access system resources, taking
the signature as proof of security. This is an unreasonable expectation in 
large computing environments, which is why a programmatic method for printing
within Web Start is necessary.

Get a brief outline of a programmatic method for printing within the Web
Start sandbox. Find out how to regain printing functionality without
compromising security.
