Something like this would do it:

public class TestPrt implements Printable {

    public int print(java.awt.Graphics graphics,=20
java.awt.print.PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) throws=20
java.awt.print.PrinterException {
       return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

       PrintService services[] =3D=20
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
       PrintService sve =3D null;
       for(int i=3D0;i<services.length;i++) {
          if(services[i].getName().startsWith("Retep PDF")) {
             System.err.println("Whoho "+i);
             sve =3D services[i];
          }
       }

       DocPrintJob dpj =3D sve.createPrintJob();

       Printable myPrintable =3D new TestPrt();

       Doc doc =3D new=20
SimpleDoc(myPrintable,DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PRINTABLE,null);
       PrintRequestAttributeSet attrs =3D new HashPrintRequestAttributeSe=
t();
       attrs.add(
          new Destination(
             new URI("file:/home/peter/output.pdf")
          )
       );
       attrs.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
       attrs.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A3);

       dpj.print(doc,attrs);
    }

}

Just implement the print() method as you would normally for printing.
