API or utility to generate PRN files?

[dave at math.mit.edu (David Backeberg)]

never heard of a .prn. I take it to mean that you're trying to generate 
the postscript printing output from an excel spreadsheet as if Excel 
itself had expelled the document? To make life easier on yourself, you 
might try buying this off-the-shelf if money isn't a factor. I'm sure 
somebody has done this before.

Why does it have to be Java or Perl? I have no idea what language Gnumeric 
or OpenOffice are written in, but poking around those projects might 
reveal a library you could link with your code.
