Print a lot of documents with java

I'm working on a legacy java web application that uses spring like application contaier and has to print a lot of documents. Currently many times happens that when i run the print of 50 or more documents I don't have full control on what happens during the print. For example many times the procedure don't finish in a correct way and I don't know wich and how many document are printed and the causes that don't allowed to print the rest of the documents. The actual procedure run the lpd command from java and I want to rewrite it to have more control on each print. In addition to this sort of procedure should be write as off-line procedure beacause could during a few minutes. Can you give me some suggestion about this?
