I open "lpr" from the browse by sending the data with a "print" type. The browser does not know what to do with it, so it asks the user wich application to use. Choose once, tell the browser to remember, donne.

As noted in my previous message, you may be able to provide a second link/button that they click that would cause it to be opened in the default location (Paint in this case) but then you would have to also provide a separate function to allow for the edited file to be uploaded.
The browser is basically designed to be sandboxed and not allow apps to be launched - and we’re all happy about that - but as a result you have to jump through hops to circumvent the process.
If Paint is not essential you could see if an on-line image editing service would work e.g. http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/ - don’t know if they have an API that allows for Javascript initiated editing but it might be worth checking out. There are a number of these services - fee and free. That only handles Paint type requirements but maybe what you need.

The keyword is “unsolicited” - maybe it would be acceptable to the OP tohave the user have to confirm what they want to do?
If so then it is just a question of forming the right link and making surethat the Windows user has the appropriate file type registered to “open with
…”.
There are a couple of ways to do it suggested in this thread onStackOverflow

installed software can run is if the user initiated it - for example when aI don't think it is doable at all to be honest. The only time locally
PDF link is clicked and the browser streams PDF data to the PC to be loaded
by locally installed PDF reader, or a word document into Word etc. You
cannot make JavaScript run a locally installed executable in an unsolicited
way - if that was possible there would be a world wide meltdown :)

Subject: Re: [WEB400] trying to use EXEC with Zend
Since the browser is the on the PC and the PHP server is on the host,
don't think that has anything to do with PHP, more likely JavaScript. Then
there's the whole thing of giving a browser the ability to run a command on
the local machine. Doable I think so, but I think there might be a hurdle
or two to jump.

what you are seeing appears to be running on the host the web server
is on.
Assuming the host is IBM i, try using "ls -la" or "pwd" as the EXEC
command.
