Print client-side PrinterJob

I have a hard time and I'm not finding a viable solution. It is a project in JSF with the web server.

I'm trying to print on a Bematech 4200 printer, I'm using this code to list printers but the code returns the server printers.

PrintService services[] = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();

I really need printers from client-side, the machine with printer and drivers already installed with my app open on browser .

I can not convert the Graphics2D to image, so that it displays the img by the browser.

I did a text on page and print it, but it doesn't use all available espaces

I thought in convert Graphics2D to a PDF image, and print the PDF but probably it will not use all the paper.

How can I list all printers from machine with system open? (client-side without ask which one, it will be parameterized)

This cannot be done from the server. The only option you have that I know (knew) of to actually directly print on the client is using a signed applet
