Hi, sorry for reviving this old thread, but I've got a similar problem with this, and to avoid double posting.

I also have problem in printing, I use

String defaultPrinter = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService().getName(); System.out.println("Default printer: " + defaultPrinter); PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService(); // prints the famous hello world! plus a form feed InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream("hello world ddsds!\f".getBytes("UTF8")); PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet(); pras.add(new Copies(1)); DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE; Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null); DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob(); job.print(doc, pras); is.close();

but the printer print some code/text like
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 17 19 595 773
%%Pages: 1
.....
%%BegingFeature: *InputSlot Upper
2 dict up /PageSize [612 792] put dup /ImagingBox null put setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
....
%%EndSetup
%%Page: 1 1
%%BeginPageSetup
%%EndPageSetup
%%BeginDocument: nondsc
Hello World
%%EndDocument
%%EOF

I just wanted to print the "Hello World", how will I eliminate the unwanted text in the output? is there something in my code?

My printer is ESC/POS
Model P06-P
My platform: Mac OS 10.8.2

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

What I want is, I want to establish a server that can handle VoIP and can response to clients(mobile phone) request, and I will create an Android application/Java SE client, and then those client can communicate each other, can call with/without video, also can forward SMS to each other.

Theres also an instance that if a client will inquire/call a certain number(this could be in server side), a voice response will let him choose his option, press 1 for inquiry of grade(maybe this is in audio response), press 2 for inquiry of balance(maybe this is an audio response).

First, I have no idea if I will have to install another service of Apache.
Second, can Apache Mina can handle all of that?

Could someone explain/guide me to what should I do in order to perform my objective?

any reply would be much appreciated.

thank you for the reply, yeah, i looked it in the internet. I will have a hard time in this. XD

That could explain your problem, contact the facebook's developer, but you can still get the users list that you mean, you will have to examine the backend of the page in the client side, how the data works in there.

what API in java that can detect a wi-fi? and be able to login.

any help would be much appreciated.

in package client: i have a class
Client extends Thread
ClientHandler extends Thread
in package GUI: i have all the GUI that I will be using,

I separated the GUI frames because i dont want to mess with the package client classes. Frames is,
ClientGUI extends JFrame
Button btn = new Button("Send Message"); // Just for showing the button


First, i will run the ClientGUI, and created an instance of Client. Connecting in the server is easy because I will make
an instance of Client from package client. Now the problem is when i want to send message to the server is through
the "Send Message" button, but the method i want to call is in the ClientHandler. I can't just declare a new instance of
ClientHandler, because i already did that inside Client Class. How will I access the method inside ClientHandler w/o
creating new instance? Other than setting the method to static.

any suggestion would be much appreciated. thanks.

Thank you very much for the explaination. Now I get it. i thought nulls takes space.

i will separate it because i think that null fields will consume bytes in the database. and if my data will increase and having many null fields
will have an effect of consuming spaces in my database.

yes i will most likely want to have many tables just to avoid null fields. but im confuse if my style would be alright. thats why im getting
your opinions.

thank you for the reply i appreciate it.

separate it to other table, i will make another table for it. Just to prevent null fields.

if I see that it would be sometimes null, I will separate it. would it be okay?

thanks.

i have a table for example,

Address
userId | homeAddress | currentAddress

normally a table will look like this, and im worried when my users will vastly increase, some will not fill out the home address or the
current address, so there will be a field that is null in the table if that will be the structure.

so I re design my database, like this, to avoid some null fields.

Home_Address
userId | homeAddress

Current_Address
userId | currentAddress

so i have now 2 tables. Does Null fields matter? Does my second database design fit what i wanted? does that advisable?
because im very particular about null fields. I dont want any null fields in my tables.

any comments/suggestions would be a great help. thank you.

is it possible that the UI part of my application is javaFX, then when i press a button for example,
the actionperformed is that i will call a java code or java class?

what would be best plugin for eclipse in GUI Builder (e.g. swing), ill transfer to eclipse from netbeans.
is it v4all, jigloo, windowbuilder or etc?

in
v4all - when i saved it for the first an error occur, it said "a resource already exist . . . . . " i dont know what that means, i cant run the program
jigloo - i dont know how to set the JPanel because it is larger than the frame, when i place it in a JScrollPane and drag the JPanel longer(height)
the JPanel stretch but when it elapsed the edge of the JScrollPane/JFrame it makes invisible the part that elapsed.
windowbuilder - i didnt tried this.

can someone advise me for the nicer one, because i just want the drag and drop the components.

any help would be much appreciated.
