Description

[PATCH]

Hello,

I have added tested and deployed code that allows the Print Renderer to select a
Printer and a Tray.

I'm going to try to attach my patch to this bug report. (although I don't see
that attach option at the moment...)

I added code to add a logger, and changed the margins a bit. I really did not
intend to include these changes in the patch, but I did not feel confident
enough to rip them out with out re-testing everything. I thought a savvy
developer could weed though the mistake and grab the important Printer and Tray
code.

I also added an option to not exit when the task is completed. This made it
easier for me to call the FOP Java classes from my Java code.

Finally I ended up using environment variables for my options. I really don't
think this is a good idea, but I did not have the time to add real parameter
options to the fop code.

Any way, I realize this may be too sloppy to use, and I apologize. I figured I
should offer it any way, since I may not be the only developer interested in
selecting a printer and tray to print to. (I really hope to offer a cleaner
version of this in the future, if it's something FOP is interested in.)

Thanks alot,
Andy.
