Help for printing textarea

Question

hi
How can I print a long line.
for exmple
0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
if i print a textarea with this content i get a printout that looks like this:
012345678901234567890123456
do i have to set anything so that the line is wrapped??
my code looks like this:
1st part:
public class Ta extends JTextArea implements Printable{
     public Ta(){
          super();
          this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));
     public Ta(int x, int y){
          super(x,y);
     public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf,int pi){
          if (pi >= 1) {
               return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
          g2.translate(pf.getImageableX(),pf.getImageableY());
          Font f = new Font("Monospaced", Font.PLAIN,6);
          g2.setFont (f);
          g2.drawString(this.getText(),100,100);
          this.paint(g2);
          return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
2nd:
          b.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                    if(pj.printDialog()){
                         PageFormat pformat = pj.defaultPage();
                         pformat.setOrientation(PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
                         System.out.println(pj.defaultPage());
                         pj.setPrintable(ta,pj.pageDialog(pformat));
                         try{
                              pj.print();
                         catch(PrinterException p){

You got me wrong!My deepest regrets! :-)
Wait, somewhere I had seen some example of just this.
Ok... "found" it.
(As you shall see, the code is actually decompiled -by some demo application not commercial, mind you- so to find this useful you need to try to understand what all this variables are used for)
class NotepadPrinter implements Printable {
  public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageformat, int i) {
    Graphics2D graphics2d = (Graphics2D)g;
    try {
      return paintText(graphics2d, pageformat, i);
    } catch(Exception exception) {
      exception.printStackTrace();
    return 1;
  int paintText(Graphics2D graphics2d, PageFormat pageformat, int i) throws Exception {
    int j = (int)pageformat.getImageableHeight();
    int k = (int)pageformat.getHeight();
    graphics2d.translate(pageformat.getImageableX(), pageformat.getImageableY());
    graphics2d.setFont(getEditor().getGraphics().getFont());
    graphics2d.setColor(Color.black);
    String s = null;
    try {
      s = getEditor().getText(0, getEditor().getDocument().getLength());
    } catch(BadLocationException badlocationexception) {
      throw new Exception(badlocationexception.getMessage());
    java.awt.font.FontRenderContext fontrendercontext = graphics2d.getFontRenderContext();
    java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D rectangle2d = graphics2d.getFont().getMaxCharBounds(fontrendercontext);
    double d = rectangle2d.getWidth();
    double d1 = rectangle2d.getHeight() + 2D;
    double d2 = pageformat.getImageableWidth();
    int l = (int)(d2 / d);
    String as[] = getLines(s);
    int i1 = as.length;
    double d3 = d1 * (double)i1;
    int j1 = (int)((double)j / d1);
    int k1 = i1 / j1 + 1;
    int l1 = j1 * i;
    int i2 = getNumLinesForPage(as, i, j1);
    int j2 = (l1 + i2) - 1;
    if(l1 >= as.length)
      return 1;
    String as1[] = new String[i2];
    System.arraycopy(as, l1, as1, 0, i2);
    float f = 10F;
    LineMetrics linemetrics = graphics2d.getFont().getLineMetrics("A", fontrendercontext);
    double d4 = (double)linemetrics.getHeight() + 2D;
    for(int k2 = 0; k2 < as1.length; k2++) {
      graphics2d.drawString(as1[k2], 10F, f);
      f = (float)((double)f + d4);
    return 0;
  String[] getLines(String s) {
    StringTokenizer stringtokenizer = new StringTokenizer(s, "\n");
    Vector vector = new Vector();
    while(stringtokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
      vector.add(stringtokenizer.nextToken()));
    return (String[])vector.toArray(new String[0]);
  int getNumLinesForPage(String as[], int i, int j) {
    if(as.length < (i + 1) * j) {
      int k = as.length - i * j;
      return k;
    } else {
      return j;
}
