Direct PDF Printing on Java Printer

Question

So, I need to print a PDF directly to the printer, because I need to print Tax Notes.If I use this form Desktop d = Desktop.getDesktop().print("Caminho do arquivo") it prints normally the first time, but opens the adobe together and the adobe closes the document and then when I will print again, it "Buga" and prints everything that is in the extremely small PDF. And the idea is to print directly and in the correct size of the paper.

I own these 3 printers :Bematech MP 4200 TH, Bematech MP 4000 TH e MP2500TH. Below is how I learned to print directly from the printer.

PrintService iPadrao = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;

try {
    FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\EX-PHP\\Documents\\TestePDF2\\vai.pdf");

    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(stream, docFlavor, null);
    DocPrintJob p = iPadrao.createPrintJob();
    p.print(doc, null);
} catch (PrintException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

The PDF in question contains a tax note containing a QR code. I also tried with Pdfrenderer, and with some codes I found on the internet but without success,.

An option to work with PDF is to use the library Apache PDFBox that will extract the contents of your file and allow it to be printed:

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

  PDDocument documento = PDDocument.load(new File("C:/Users/EX-PHP/Documents/TestePDF2/vai.pdf"));
  PrintService servico = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();

  PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
  job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(documento));
  job.setPrintService(servico);
  job.print();
  documento.close();
}

The dependencies for use of Apache PDFBox can be found in the session Dependencies site. For this example you will need Apache Commons Logging and the fontbox.

If you are using Maven use the following dependency import:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
    <artifactId>pdfbox</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.7</version>
</dependency>
