What's wrong with this code (Applet) ?

[slok]

I wanted to create an applet for Netscape that <br>
creates a file on the user machine and then send the<br>
file to the LPT1 (printer).<br>
<br>
However, there is some problems about access rites ?<br>
any ideas ?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

Hi,<br>
An applet is not allowed to write ( create ) a file to the client side, except if this applet is embbeded in a signed jar file. May be you can have a look to<br>
