Can some body tell me where my code is going wrong

Question

I have been trying to print a jTextArea and have been having trouble. Can some body look at my code and tell me where I am going wrong please, Thank You.
I have pasted the code below. P.S. I have only attempted to print the jTextArea I have not done anything else. The program was written in the hope that I could learn how to print a jTextArea and no other function in an aim to transfer the successful code to other applications that I enter information into the jTextArea.

    }The preview looked correct. Thank you for the URL. I have been writting my program in netbeans 5.5.1. unfortunately it simplifies the code that you have to put in but at the same time it makes it difficult to follow code examples that are intended to develope the whole of the code from scratch. I have tried looking at the netbeans guidance documentation but find that it doesn't always work even when I follow the direct code for the demonstrations. Anyway thanks for the guidance and for getting back to me so soon.
