Print complete UI.

[pawan chopra]

Hi,

I am trying to print my swing UI. Results are not correct I am not able to see complete result in print. It doesn't print any thing which needs scroll. Another thing is if we see from the width of the UI it doesn't cover the complete width. I am using following code:

  public void print() {
    PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    printJob.setPrintable(this);
    if (printJob.printDialog())
      try {
        printJob.print();
      } catch(PrinterException pe) {
        System.out.println("Error printing: " + pe);
      }
  }

  public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) {
    if (pageIndex > 0) {
      return(NO_SUCH_PAGE);
    } else {
      Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
      g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
      componentToBePrinted.paint(g2d);
      return(PAGE_EXISTS);
    }
  }

Can any one help me on that? Let me know if there is a better way to do this.

somewhere on sun/oracle's site there's an article/tutorial on advanced printing which should give you some pointers.
