pdf - Printing in Java to a label printer that is not default printer -

i need print label printer. found code below in net , trying modify needs. works fine when label printer default printer in system, when set other printer default doesn't print properly. in image on link below 1 can see result when default (the 1 on right), first effort when not default (the middle one) , sec effort when not default. need print whether printer default or not, since part of software releasing clients. question is: there specific attributes or commands should sent printer in order print when not default printer? or how can set printer default printer within code, before printing, , restore default printer when done printing? image link (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jba7ba77ik0/urplehzyvie/aaaaaaaaqwg/bo4ee3wepjg/s279-c/21213)
