Printing with an Applet

Hello all,
I would like to be able to print whatever is on my panel, but in an Applet I am not allowed to do so because of the securities. When I try to print I get the following exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission queuePrintJob)
By the way, printing in an application is no problem. And also, the Applet is supposed to be run from anywhere over the Internet, so changing the policy file is not an option.
Does anyone know how to grant the Applet permission to print? (and if so then please tell me :-) )
Thanks very much in advance for your help, it's very much appreciated!!

Hans,
I came across a similar problem a few months ago. I came up with a work-around, and although it's not great, it met the demands of my current project.
A normal applet can't write files to a user's computer because that could create some big security problems. However, an applet can communicate with the server on which it's located. SO, I created a servlet that resides on the same server. When the user wants to print something from the applet, he clicks a Print button which opens a URLConnection and sends the data to the servlet. The servlet then creates an HTML document on the server and formats the data nicely. Then, back in the applet, I used this line to open a new browser window and show the HTML file:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(theUrl), "_blank")
The user can then use the browser's print function to print the data.
I know it's kind of a roundabout way, but I was pressed for time. Let us know if you come up with something better.
-sheepy.

  • Trying to Imitate the html POST  method with an applet

    I am trying to imitate the POST method with an applet, so that I can eventually send sound from a microphone to a PHP script which will store it in a file on a server. I am starting out by trying to post a simple line of text by making the PHP script think that it is receiving the text within a POST-ed file. The reason I am doing things this way is in part because I am, for the time being, limited to a shared server without any support for servlets or any other server side java.
    The code I am trying is based in part on an old thread found elsewhere in this forum, concerning sending data to a PHP file by imitating the POST method:
    link:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=530399&messageID=2603608
    someone named "harmmeijer" provided most of the answers on that thread. If that person is still around hope they take a look at this,also I have some questions to clarify what they said on the other thread..
    My first attempt at code is below. The applet is in a signed jar file and is trying to pass a text line to the PHP script in the same directory and on the same server that the applet came from. It is doing this by sending header information that is supposed to be identical to what an html form would send if it was uploading a .txt file with the line of text within it. The applet displays one button. When you press it, it sucessfully starts up the postsim method (defined at the end), which is supposed to send the info to the PHP script at the server.
    I have two questions:
    1) I know that the PHP script is starting up, because it prints out a few messages depending on what happens. However, the script does not recognize any file coming down the line, so it does not save anyting on the server, and prints out a message saying the no file was uploaded.
    Any idea what might be going wrong? I'm not getting any error messages from the applet. I've tried a few different variations of the 'header' information contained in the line:
    osToServer.writeBytes("--****4353\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"testfile\"; filename=\"C:testfile.txt\"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n");
    The commented out line below it shows one variation (which was given in the thread mentioned above).
    2) You'll notice that I've commented out the two lines having to do with the input line:
    //InputStream isFromServer;
    and
    //isFromServer = uc.getInputStream();
    The reason is that the program crahes whenever I put the latter line in - to the extent that Opera closes down the JVM and then crashes when I tried to exit it.. I must be doing something horribly wrong there! I first tried using isFromServer = new DataInputStream(uc.getInputStream());
    becuase it was consistent with the output stream, but that caused the same problem.
    Here's the code:
    public class AudioUptest1 extends Applet{
    //There are a few spurious things defined in this section, having to do with the fact the microphone data is evenuatly going to be sent. haven't yet insterted code to get input from a microphone.

    Hi All,
    I was trying to write a signed applet that helps the
    user of the applet to browse the local hard disk and
    select a file from the same. The JFileChooser class
    from Swing is what I used in my applet. The problem
    is with the policy file. I am not able to trace the
    exact way to write a policy file which gives a total
    access to read,write,delete,execute on all the drives
    of the local hard disk.
    I am successful in signing the applets and performing
    operations : read,write,delete & execute on a single
    file but failing to grant permission for the entire
    file.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.Which policy file are you using? there might be more than one policy file.
    also, u have to specify the alias of the signed certificate in the policy file to grant the necessary priviledges to the signed applet.

  • I will pay for who can help me with this applet

    Hi!, sorry for my english, im spanish.
    I have a big problem with an applet:
    I�ve make an applet that sends files to a FTP Server with a progress bar.
    Its works fine on my IDE (JBuilder 9), but when I load into Internet Explorer (signed applet) it crash. The applet seems like blocked: it show the screen of java loading and dont show the progress bar, but it send the archives to the FTP server while shows the java loading screen.
    I will pay with a domain or with paypal to anyone who can help me with this problematic applet. I will give my code and the goal is only repair the applet. Only that.
    My email: [email protected]
    thanks in advance.
    adios!

    thaks for yours anwswers..
    harmmeijer: the applet is signed ok, I dont think that is the problem...
    itchyscratchy: the server calls are made from start() method. The applet is crashed during its sending files to FTP server, when finish, the applet look ok.
    The class I use is FtpBean: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Code/9129/javabean/ftpbean/
    (I test too with apache commons-net, and the same effect...)
    The ftp is Filezilla in localhost.
    This is the code, I explain a little:
    The start() method calls iniciar() method where its is defined the array of files to upload, and connect to ftp server. The for loop on every element of array and uploads a file on subirFichero() method.
    Basicaly its this.
    The HTML code is:
    <applet
           codebase = "."
           code     = "revelado.Upload.class"

  • Printing from trusted applet

    Hey boys and girls.
    I need a litle help. Does someone has expirience with printing on local raw printer from browser? I think that is possible, but since I am new with Java and some time to learn it good, I will relly on your help. It would be a super if your have a piece of code. Again, we are talking about raw dot-matrix printers and they will be used for printing data for documents like passport, personal ID's driver licence. You know, the old style... Thanks

  • Provider !DOCTYPE ... error while printing from an applet

    Hi,
    I'm developing a (signed) applet that requires access to the local printer. The applet will parse an XML document using [Flying Saucer|http://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/] . I'm developing it in Eclipse.
    When I run the applet from Eclipse, everything works fine, and a print is produced by the printer. I then export the applet as a jar file, sign it, and put it on a local server. When I run the applet in any browser (whether its IE or Firefox) the thing crashes with this error:
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> not foundThis exception seems mangled to me - shouldn't it produce a classname as opposed to the DOCTYPE declaration String?
    I've signed all the jars required (Flying Saucer's core-renderer.jar & jtidy.jar), accepted them in the browser. All dependencies should therefore be resolved.
    To be sure: I am NOT referencing the DOCTYPE anywhere in the Java code, nor in the HTML source document, nor in the HTML document hosting the applet. In short, I cannot find any trace of the DOCTYPE given in my source code. Where does it come from?
    Here's a stack trace. Hopefully someone has a great tip! :)

  • Printing with java J9

    Hi
    I just installed java J9 on my brand new hp iPAQ 4240 (windows mobile 5.0). The install file I used was: ibm-weme-wm50-arm-ppro11_6.1.0.20060727-102926.exe. And it works fine. Im going to develop an application that requires printing. Is there a java class for printing or?

    I think you can print from an applet, so long as it's a signed applet, but the problem is I think it will only print the applet or whatever you write to it. It's not likely to print the browser's contents. Anyway, I think that the browser has some settings regarding how things are printed, for example to not print a black page with white text, but print it in reverse, since it'll drain the printer's ink.

  • Warning Noob: Sending "Hello World!" in Printer using Java Applet

    Hello guys!
    im a newbie in java programming... i hope that you can help me with my problem.
    how can i print "Hello World!" in printer using java applet. lets pretend that the applet is digitally signed.
    i tried window.print in javascript but unfortunately, that is not what i am looking for.
    thanks for reading my post and i hope that you help me with my quest in java =)

    An applet is still part of the Swing package. I assume you're extending JApplet. There isn't anything in the print API that says it can't be done in an applet. Except that you might have to sign your applet Jar file with a digital certificate to get the printing to work.

    I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
    The printer is out of ink.
    The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

    I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!!  I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
    You should be ashamed!!

  • Unable to print with my Canon PIXMA IP 4700 and JetDirect network appliance

    After many tries I decided to post my question.
    I have a Canon PIXMA IP 4700 connected to the network with a Jetdirect 175X box. So I tried to add a new printer with a "HP Jetdirect Socket" port. I have previously installed the driver from the official website. The test page is staying on the spooler.
    I also tried with LPD port (supported by the Jetdirect box) and IPP but nothing is working.
    When the printer is directly connected with USB, it's working fine. Printing from my others Windows computers is working fine too since many months.
    Thank your for your help.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your problem is being caused by the Canon driver. It cannot be used when the printer is connected to the USB port of a 3rd party print server, or if shared by Windows.
    The solution is to use a driver like Gutenprint or PrintFab. Gutenprint is preferred because it is free (it ships with OS X) however the iP4700 is not listed as a supported model. The iP4600 is listed so you could try selecting this model in the Print Using menu (shown as Canon PIXMA iP4600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3). If the iP4600 Gutenprint driver does not work that well then you could look at using [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net] which does support the iP4700. It costs €49 but there is a 30 day trial so at least you can try it before committing to buying.
    Another option would be to use a Airport device, like the Express, instead of the Jetdirect print server. With the printer connected to its USB port you can then use the Canon iP4700 driver on the Mac.

  • How to print with HP Deskjet 2510 with Imac G5 on Tiger ?

    Hi Folks
    I desperately need some helping hand....
    Today my old trusty printer died (HP 1510 print/scan/ copy) and I ran to buy another one because I need to finish some tax paperwork.
    In a mad hurry, I didn't pay any attention to tech specs and I went home with brand new HP DeskJet 2510 All In One device. But !!! : ((
    In my home office I still use Imac G5 with 10.4.11 which is still pretty good comp for office work but I found out that the HP 2510 don't officially support my Imac with Tiger. Only from 10.6 and later.... I know that Imac G5 can't run nothing above 10.5.
    So, is there any way to "force" HP 2510 to somehow recognize my Imac G5? In "about my mac" on USB port, the HP 2510 is visible ....
    Many thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Sven

    You may be able to get it to print with something like this:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    although i do not see taht modle on the "Supported Printers" page. You might look again.
    BUT that workabout does not support scanning, only printing.
    I think you need to return the printer and look to either Canon or Brother. Brother especially has been better about suporting older Mac OS versions but you'll still need to get a model number and search the maker's site BEFORE buying to see if they show older drivers for download.

  • Remote printing with iPad

    I have installed the HP Print app on the iPad and have no issues printing when I am on the local net work. When I try and print when I am not on the network I receive an error that states: "oops we cannot complete the print job please try again" and there is a retry or cancel selection. My printer is set up with an email address. I can print from my Samsung note 2 using the HP Print app with no issues either on the network or off. Any ideas?

    Have you tried the ePrint mobile app?

  • HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

    I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

    From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

    Install that and let me know the result! 
    Have a great day!

  • How to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with bluetooth to my mini mac?

    how to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with Bluetooth to my mini mac

    Does the printer actually support BlueTooth? If the printer is wireless, then most likely it uses Wi-Fi. Did you read the user guide that came with it? Or contact Canon tech support at their website.
