Customed JButton size with Icon

Hi,
I want to place a few buttons in a JPanel in a fashion that it looks like a toolbar, my problem is that these buttons (with icons) take the size they want.
But I would like to size them like I want (they would have all the same size though).
Is there any layoutmanager that would let me do that or any other suggestions!?
Thanks.

I'm not sure this is what you want but...
You can use the setPreferredSize method on the buttons and make sure they have enough room.
Also, the GridLayout places components in areas of equal size.

Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it. I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes. With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray. While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray. It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope. Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing. I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray. I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310. I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray. To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7. The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray. Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets." The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful! I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

Hi,
Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
You need to select right custom size from the application.
Regards.

Maintain custom page size with bleed

I use CS4 and when working in Illustrator ( and later taking into a book in InDesign) how do I maintain custom page size with bleed in Illustrator when saving as PDF .
I have been told my files are not print ready and have no bleed even though I set a bleed and accurate (custom)page size initially. It seems I lose these when I save as a PDF for Printers to use.

Sometimes and I will check the way I do that, though usually I move from
from AI , save as print quality PDF and still seem to lose the bleed. Is
there a setting I should be using for the PDF?

Managing Custom Paper Sizes with the Epson 2000P

Hi,
I recently started using the iMac and after installing the software for the Epson 2000P found that I could not print a 13 x 44 image. I set up a custom paper size and when the page printed it only printed 18" of the image. I tried the Epson 1280 with the same set up and was able to get 22". I thought maybe the file was to large a cut it in half with no luck. I increased the memory allotment of the program as well and still no luck. I have emailed and called Epson support and can't get any answers from them so I thought I would check here at Apple. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciuate it.
Thanks

Hi,
Crystal Reports 2008 supports custom page sizes. You can set this in the Page Properties for the report in the Crystal Reports Designer, I'm not sure if you can set it in the SDK as well.

Custom paper size with HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer

I am wanting to print on a paper size 12x18. I do not find a "Custom" paper size on my printer HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer. Is there another driver which I can download which would allow me to enter custom paper sizes?

Custom JButton with different states, any ideas??

Hey, hope you guys can help.
What I want to do is to implement a custom JButton class with different states for the button. The button should have a "pressed" state, where the user has pressed it, and if the action triggered by this pressing gets approved, it should get selected. It will then get a different color and border.
I will have several buttons of this type in one panel, and they can all have different states at any time.
I do not want to use JToggleButton, as it is not the user that decides if it should be selected or not, but the logic "behind" (the dataflow).
So I want like a combination of JButton and JToggleButton...
How do I do this, any ideas, please?

I am not to sure if this is the idea you have in mind but...
This is something i have used before it is a tool bar. the button could be managed by another event it is an event listener at the moment.
As well as update only a specified button rather than all?
public class ToolBar extends JToolBar {
    public ToolBar(EventListener el) {
        this.setName("ToolBar");
        String[] imageFiles = { "Left.gif", "Relationgif", "Reload.gif", "TrafficRed.gif", "Home.gif", "Print.gif", "Help.gif" };
        String[] toolbarLabels = { "Entity", "Relationship", "Reload", "Stop", "Home", "Print", "Help" };
        Insets margins = new Insets(3, 3, 3, 3);
        for(int counter = 0; counter < toolbarLabels.length; counter++) {
            ToolBarButton button = new ToolBarButton(imageFiles[counter]);
            button.setToolTipText(toolbarLabels[counter]);
            button.setMargin(margins);
            button.setName(imageFiles[counter]);
            button.setVerticalTextPosition(BOTTOM);
            button.setHorizontalTextPosition(CENTER);
          // button.setMnemonic(KeyStroke.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
            button.addActionListener(el);
            add(button);
    public void setTextLabels(boolean showLabels) {
        Component c;
        int i = 0;
        while((c = getComponentAtIndex(i++)) != null) {
            ToolBarButton button = (ToolBarButton)c;
            if (showLabels)
                button.setText(button.getToolTipText());
            else
                button.setText("");
//each button on the tool bar is an object of this class
public class ToolBarButton extends JButton {
    private static final Insets margins = new Insets(3, 3, 3, 3);
    //user selected to view tool bar as image only (default)
    public ToolBarButton(Icon icon) {
        super(icon);
        setMargin(margins);
    //user selected to view tool bar as text only
    public ToolBarButton(String iconName) {
        this(new ImageIcon(iconName));
    //user selected to view tool bar as image and text
    public ToolBarButton(String iconImage, String iconName) {
        this(new ImageIcon(iconImage));
        setText(iconName);

Portrait printing problem on custom paper size

Hi,
i want to print on custom paper size - 500x700mm, but cant set custom paper size straight in Illustrator, only in printer driver. When I set it up and print file, all shapes are smaller on print than in file! Same thing happens with 320x450mm size. After some searching i tried to print it in landscape (wider side in printer) and everything is ok!!! but when i get back to portrait it is all smaller again :/
On pre-intalled A4 size everything is ok.
Can anyone help me, i want to print on 700x500mm but my printer is only 600mm wide ;/
Tried to change any possible fit, resize and rotate option throughout app, system and in printer with no success.
Specs:
Mac OS 10.9 (Retina MBP 15)
Illustrator CC and CS5 (tried on both)
HP DesignJet 510 (CH336A)

Yeah, HP tech support is iffy at best.
I think you're on the right track.
I don't think the issue is Illustrator. In my experience, the Art Board feature is exactly what is warranted for custom page sizes.
I also wouldn't think it is an OS issue, as the drivers need to conform to OS development rules. If the driver "says" it can do it, it SHOULD do it. If it doesn't, that's not the OS's fault.
In cases where you're trying to go "outside" the page-size presets of the printer driver, this is where people encounter problems, which is why I think the issue is the print driver. My solution has been to use an existing page-size preset, and hand-trim after printing. But in quantity prints, this becomes a pretty serious problem.
One other thought. Someone else on this forum found that they could use custom page sizes (with certain printers) if they always fed the paper in its "tall" position, rather than feeding it in "wide." This might require you to rotate artwork in ai, I'm not sure. But it's worth a try in attempting to get your custom page size to print properly.
Good luck.

After installing Yosemite, my CS5 crashes when I try to set up a new custom paper size

I tried to set up a custom paper size with CS5 but my system crashes with "an unexpected system error has occurred". I have tried a reinstall of CS5 and also the latest Java update.

First of all, trash and refresh your Photoshop preferences.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.

Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer

Hi All,
I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
Thanks for any advice for me.
Han

Looking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

Anyone having issues with custom paper sizes?

I've narrowed down my printing problems to be primarily when using custom paper sizes. I still get regular crashes with standard sizes, but cannot print at all if I set up a custom size in A3. I am able to print custom sizes in Lightroom so it must be related to Aperture. I much prefer the way my prints look from Aperture, don't know why but when I export jpg or tiff files from A3 and import into LR the prints are very dull and color is off.
Anyone?

I have exact same issue after in my Iphone 4s. This started after upgrading to IOS 6.0.1
Has anybody got a solution?

Photosmart Duplex with Custom Paper Size

I've recently bought a Photosmart Premium C310a for a personal project where I needed a photo printer that could handle duplex printing and custom sized paper, which according to the spec this printer does.
However, when you try to do this the printer driver in Windows Vista tells me that custom sizing is not compatible with duplex printing, rendering the Photosmart Premium a large lump of plastic and wiring that I have no use for.
Has anyone got any ideas of how I can make this work?
Thanks,
Mark

OK, the paper weight is outside that "supported" for duplexing as shown in the user manual but it might work.
I do not have a c310a set up to test with but I tried with a c309a I have here. What exactly did you try? I set a custom paper size in the Printing Preferences, Features tab and then selected automatic two sided printing and it seems to work. Are you trying to print full borderless photo's in duplex mode? That is not supported and I do not know any way to make it work. It is also not supported (and will not work) to print with photo media selected and printing in duplex mode.

Help with custom page size support for non standard paper

Firstly, we appreciate any support you may be able to provide, we have already thrown considerable effort at this and it has been very time consuming and frustrating.
To support a number of business functions need to print to (non standard) continuous and mulitpart paper on a dot matrix printer. The (test) Mac is a 10.4.11 G4 laptop, the printer is an Oki Microline 520 (9 pin 80 column, IBM Proprinter, Microline or Epson FX personalities with a parallel interface) which has been networked via a HP JetDirext Ex Plus print server. That part appears to be operating correctly.
We have tried a number of drivers / printer personalities with varying levels of success:
ESP / EPSON 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Epson FX personality
ESP / OKIDATA 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Oki Microline personality
Ghostscript / epsonc / Epson Dot Matrix Foomatic PPD / Epson FX personality
Ghostscript / ibmpro / IBM ProPrinterII Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
Ghostscript / okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
There were no appropriate drivers in Gutenprint (5.2.3 version) The most successful is the okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin settings, it can print A4 and honors the Printer Features Resolution settings in the print dialogue.
Q1: Should we see anything in the Printer Info / Installable Option, it is always blank ?
The issue is custom page sizes, we can manage / add Custom Pages Sizes via the Page Setup / Paper Size interface and they draw on the screen OK but they do not work at the printer (various issue at the printer such error messages, junk printing and wrong orientation):
Q2: Are we heading in the right direction or is there a better way to handle this ?
Q3: Would 10.5 solve all our problems, are the print drivers any better ?
Q4: Is this the correct way to specify custom page sizes, is this all we need to do ?
Q5: Is so how do we get the driver to respect the size, do we need another filter or something ?
Q6: Is it possible to add (by hand) custom page sizes to the ESP drivers or Foomatic PPD files so they they appear as a "standard" offering in the Page Setup / Paper Size interface ?
Sorry for the long / complicated post and thanks in advance for any advice / assistance.

Testing on 10.5.7, Tried both Oki 9-Pin Series 1.3 / Microline personality (no joy) and Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 (this is a much better driver than 1.1) / Epson FX personality but not much joy with custom page sizes,
The Oki 9-pin Series 1.3 and the Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 should produce the same results. The only difference in the PPDs is the printer model name.
After some testing, I find that the output is not the same despite the two PPDs being virtually identical. I did spot in the CUPS source code for the rastertoepson filter that there is some model name matching for Epson printers. Thus I can see where the output using the Oki 9-pin PPD could be different than when using the Epson 9-pin PPD.
but again once I imbedded the page size into the ppd some (but frustrating) luck. I can get it to respect the paper orientation and it prints well but I could not get the form length to work properly. At best over a print run of 7 labels it would creep up the label by about 0.1 inches / 2 mm.
Just for the fun of it, I made some additions to the Epson 9-pin 1.3 PPD. All I can say is that I could print a job to file. I have no way to know what it would look like on paper.
I did find that using a custom paper size did add some unwanted margins to the output bounding box. Putting the custom page size into the PPD seemed to get around that issue.
I added the following lines to the Epson 9-pin PPD 1.3--
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">*PageSize Label1/Label1: "<</PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*PageRegion Label1/Label1: "<<PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*ImageableArea Label1/Label1: "0 0 288.00 107.80"
*PaperDimension Label1/Label1: "288.00 107.80"</pre>
This adds a paper size with the 4 inch (288pt) width and 1.5 inch (107.8pt) height. That represents the 1.4 inch label and the 0.1 inch gap between labels. I set 0pt margins except for the bottom where is set the 0.1 inch (7pt) gap as the bottom margin.
The full diff in context is--
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">loki:~ matt$ diff -u /usr/share/cups/model/epson9.ppd ~/Desktop/epson9.ppd

Help with Java Printing-Custom paper sizes

Hi,
I'm trying to print documents with custom paper sizes out of java.
I can print fine when I don't try to set the MediaSize to a custom size or when I use already named constants like: "MediaSizeName.JIS_B4"
The error message I get is this:
java.lang.ClassCastException
     at javax.print.attribute.AttributeSetUtilities.verifyAttributeValue(Unknown Source)
     at javax.print.attribute.HashAttributeSet.add(Unknown Source)
     at hello.Printy.printDocument(Printy.java:103)
     at hello.Printy.main(Printy.java:135)
The offending line(103) looks like this:
pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH ));The function that its from looks like this:
public void printDocument()
try
          System.out.println("input file name is");
     System.out.println(inputFileName);
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintService printService[] = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, pras);
PrintService defaultService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
PrintService printPrintService = null;
// didn't work pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH) );
PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200,printService, defaultService, flavor, pras);
if (service != null)
     System.out.println("There is a service aunty-may!!");
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(getInputFileName());
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
//pras.add(new MediaSize((float)3.25, (float)4.75, Size2DSyntax.INCH ) );
// - works
//pras.add(MediaSizeName.JIS_B4);
pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH ));
//pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH) );
     System.out.println("Doc has been set to custom size");
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, null);
job.print(doc, pras);
     System.out.println("any doc for you?");
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to java but I've programmed a bunch in c++.

Hmm ... no real help, but I found this note in the API:
MediaSize is not yet used to specify media. Its current role is as a mapping for named
media (see MediaSizeName). Clients can use the mapping method
MediaSize.getMediaSizeForName(MediaSizeName) to find the physical dimensions of
the MediaSizeName instances enumerated in this API. This is useful for clients which
need this information to format & paginate printing.
