Problem with java print

Question

Hi, I'm have problems with java print (g2d). For example i want to print a String "ABC**************************DEF" on paper size 80mm width (invoice paper). I can print all that string with paper A4 size, but with paper size 80mm i have problem with that String, the result is "C*****************D" lost AB and EF. I think i had problem with paper size, pls help me. Thank you so much.
My code is below:

When you posted you didn't use code tags, as a result the forum software has interpreted some of your characters in your program as screen formatting codes and has corrupted your post--the most easily observable change is the bolded characters in you post. Please repost your code using code tags so people will be helping with uncorrupted code.
