will help you A simple way to print to a specific printer which you select in a printdialog:

code :

    JEditorPane text = new JEditorPane("file:///D:/abc.txt");
    text.print(null, null, true, null, null, false);

    JEditorPane text = new JEditorPane("file:///D:/abc.txt");
    PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
    text.print(null, null, false, service, null, false);

hop of those help? I'm not sure if this solves your problem but I use the following to print a text file

code :

FileInputStream textStream;
textStream = new FileInputStream(FILE_NAME);

DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
Doc mydoc = new SimpleDoc(textStream, flavor, null);

   PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(
                flavor, aset);
   PrintService defaultService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();

   if(services.length == 0) {
       if(defaultService == null) {
             //no printer found

       } else {
            //print using default
            DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
            job.print(mydoc, aset);

       }

    } else {

       //built in UI for printing you may not use this
       PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200, services, defaultService, flavor, aset);


        if (service != null)
        {
           DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
           job.print(mydoc, aset);
        }

    }

Automatically Print the Back side of All print jobs on Duplexed printer with same file

Hope that helps The answer provided by Douglas Anderson is the easiest option. However if you also want this to get enabled in a client-server environment, then it would be difficult. One option is to go for a print processor which would insert this template job after every page. However this may affect drivers that use their own print processors. Another easy solution - if you need this backside template for all jobs that are fired to this printer, why not use a preprinted paper with the template already printed? So you dont need to write any software at all!!

hope this fix your issue This code doesn't require any Swing related component but still it needs Graphics class of awt, but you can print a text from console there is no UI component being displayed, just tested it:

code :

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
import javax.print.PrintService;
import javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.Copies;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.PageRanges;


public class DirectPrint implements Printable {

private PrintService[] printService;
private String text;

public DirectPrint() {
    this.printService = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    DirectPrint lt = new DirectPrint();
    lt.printString("If this text gets printed, it will have worked! ;D");
}

public void printString(String input) {

    this.text = input;

    PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    aset.add(new PageRanges(1, 1));
    aset.add(new Copies(1));

    PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    printJob.setPrintable(this);

    try {
        printJob.setPrintService(getDefaultPrintService());
        //index of installed printers on you system
        //not sure if default-printer is always '0'
        printJob.print(aset);
    } catch (PrinterException err) {
        System.err.println(err);
    }
}

public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) throws PrinterException {
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    g2.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
    g.drawString(String.valueOf(this.text), 14, 14);
    return PAGE_EXISTS;
  }
}

  InputStream in = null;
try {
log.debug("preparing input stream");
in = getFileTobePrinted();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;

// find the printing service
log.debug("fetching print service");
AttributeSet attributeSet = new HashAttributeSet();
attributeSet.add(new PrinterName("lq2170", null));
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null,  attributeSet);

// create the print job
log.debug("creating print job");
DocPrintJob job = services[0].createPrintJob();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(in, flavor, null);

// monitor print job events
log.debug("preparing print job monitor");
PrintJobWatcher watcher = new PrintJobWatcher(job);

// print it
log.debug("start printing");
job.print(doc, null);

// wait for the print job is done
log.debug("waiting for the printing to finish");
watcher.waitForDone();

log.debug("done !");
  } finally {
if (in != null) try { in.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
}

may help you . You are right that you need to change the format of your file. I would want to use either Instant.toString() or LocalDateTime.toString() for generating the time stamps. So each line would become like
