To use print operations from an applet, your bezt bet would be to code sign
the applet. While true you could make a policy file to allow this
operations, you would need everyone to include this policy file manually,
or you would need to code sign an applet to allow write permissions on the
local machine. It would be much easier to code sign the applet from the get
go and then you can perform any normally unsafe operation. Of course the
user would still have to agree to accept the applet and its certificate at
least for the first time.
