Java Printing

  Asked By: Kent    Date: Dec 05    Category: Java    Views: 940
  

I am having trouble printing from an applet, I hope some here has
experience with this...

I have an applet that prints HTML pages. This is accomplished by
printing the contents of a jEditorPane set to html (see the following
code). However, when I print an HTML page I only get the upper
lefthand quadrant of the page (as if the page is mis-sized). I can
print the same html page through any other application and get a neat
1 page-full printout...Any insight would be greatfully appreciated..

(code...don't try to compile what I have here..this is the "good
parts" version, anything print related that is in my code is listed
below...the first section is the setup, and the second section is the
actual printing of the componant)

<sec. 1>

try{
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument)hk.createDefaultDocument();
StyleSheet doc_style = doc.getStyleSheet();
doc_style.addRule("BODY{ margin : 0;}");
doc_style.addRule("A { text-decoration : none}");
Enumeration rules = doc_style.getStyleNames();
while (rules.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String) rules.nextElement();
Style rule = doc_style.getStyle(name);
System.out.println(rule.toString());
}
hk.setStyleSheet(doc_style);
hk.install(jEditorPane2);
jEditorPane2.setEditorKit(hk);
jEditorPane2.setDocument(doc);
jEditorPane2.setPage(URL_to_print);

}
catch (IOException e){
System.out.println("Bad URL: " + url);
jTextField1.setText("Bad URL:" + url);
}


<sec. 2>

PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = printJob.pageDialog(printJob.defaultPage());
RepaintManager.currentManager
(this.componentToBePrinted).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
printJob.setPrintable(this, pf);
if (printJob.printDialog())
try {
printJob.print();
} catch(PrinterException pe) {
System.out.println("Error printing: " + pe);
}
}

Hello could you please help me with java  printing? This is my code...
I used the Java API for printing. The problem is this code  doesnt
find the print  services. Any advice? thanks

import java.io.*;

import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.print.event.*;

public class PrintFoo
{

public static void main(String args[])
{
PrintFoo ps = new PrintFoo();
}
public PrintFoo()
{
try
{
FileInputStream textStream;
textStream=new FileInputStream("tobeprinted.txt");

if(textStream==null)
{
System.out.println("asdfsaf");
return;
}

DocFlavor flavor=DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
Doc mydoc=new SimpleDoc(textStream,flavor,null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset=new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new Copies(2));

PrintService[]services=PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor,aset);
System.out.println(services.length);

if(services.length>0)
{
DocPrintJob job=services[0].createPrintJob();
try
{
job.print(mydoc,aset);
}
catch(PrintException pe)
{
System.err.println(pe);
}
}
