Hello all,
I need to be able to pass a simple string or contents of a text area to a printer. The string has the possibility of being longer than one page and this is giving me some problems.
Does anyone have an example on how to pass a string and have it print on the required number of pages. This will be on multiple platforms so I am asuming that I have to use a PrinterJob?
Thanks for the help,
Chris

Perhaps something in one of these resources on Printing in Java will help you:
  • Chapter 22 - Printing of the book Swing by Matthew Robinson and Pavel Vorobiev is available for downloading as are two other sample chapters at http://www.manning.com/Robinson/.
  • From the horse's mouth - the Printing trail of Sun's Java Tutorial
