Well, for those use-cases where you want to immediately see the output . . . .
The current system makes a person handle the Kindle to select the just printed document.

Instead, why not add a HPGL driver to your javaprinter, dig around here in the graphics posts about how to front a selected window, then "print" directly to the screen.

From you comments, I get the impression that you are accessing the Kindle over Wifi.
That is, the mention of not having a USB cable or having all of the USB ports locked on the PC that is in use.

In other words ...
The Kindle as a "network attached printer, that understands HPGL"

Now that might well be useful to the people who are using Kindles as an "annunciator type" display device (like displaying weather conditions).
