send to local printer

Hi,

I have a web application that generates pdf files and store them in the
server. I also have a class to send multiple pdf files to the printer
automatically. This works fine because my app server is sitting on the
same machine that executes the runtime command to print the pdf
automatically. My problem is: once my app is deployed  in the unix box
(test/production servers), i can generate the pdf files and store them
in the server but i won't be able to execute the runtime command to send
the files to the local machine's printer. i'm thinking of some kind of
remotely  executing this command to the local machine (is rexec for that
purpose?) but i haven't done such a thing in the past. can anybody help?
if so, can you show me some code?

thanks.

yuri
