Here is an example using the printer class I sent you the other day:
package com.cpm.printertest.applet;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
* Applet
* <P>
* @author *
public class CPrinterTest extends JApplet {
   boolean isStandalone = false;
   JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
   JCheckBox jCheckBox1 = new JCheckBox();
   JEditorPane jEditorPane1 = new JEditorPane();
   JList jList1 = new JList();
   JLabel jLabel1 = new JLabel();
   JButton jButton1 = new JButton();
    * Constructs a new instance.
    * getParameter
    * @param key
    * @param def
    * @return java.lang.String
   public String getParameter(String key, String def) {
      if (isStandalone) {
         return System.getProperty(key, def);
      if (getParameter(key) != null) {
         return getParameter(key);
      return def;
   public CPrinterTest() {
    * Initializes the state of this instance.
    * init
   public void init() {
      try  {
         jbInit();
      catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
   private void jbInit() throws Exception {
      this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 400));
      jCheckBox1.setText("jCheckBox1");
      jCheckBox1.setBounds(new Rectangle(205, 34, 90, 25));
      jEditorPane1.setText("jEditorPane1");
      jEditorPane1.setBounds(new Rectangle(123, 104, 152, 151));
      jList1.setBounds(new Rectangle(55, 25, 79, 37));
      jLabel1.setText("jLabel1");
      jLabel1.setBounds(new Rectangle(161, 285, 98, 17));
      jButton1.setText("jButton1");
      jButton1.setBounds(new Rectangle(160, 330, 79, 27));
      jButton1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            jButton1_actionPerformed(e);
      jPanel1.setLayout(null);
      this.getContentPane().add(jPanel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      jPanel1.add(jCheckBox1, null);
      jPanel1.add(jEditorPane1, null);
      jPanel1.add(jList1, null);
      jPanel1.add(jLabel1, null);
      jPanel1.add(jButton1, null);
    * start
   public void start() {
    * stop
   public void stop() {
    * destroy
   public void destroy() {
    * getAppletInfo
    * @return java.lang.String
   public String getAppletInfo() {
      return "Applet Information";
    * getParameterInfo
    * @return java.lang.String[][]
   public String[][] getParameterInfo() {
      return null;
    * main
    * @param args
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      CPrinterTest applet = new CPrinterTest();
      applet.isStandalone = true;
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      frame.setTitle("Applet Frame");
      frame.getContentPane().add(applet, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      applet.init();
      applet.start();
      frame.setSize(400, 420);
      Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
      frame.setLocation((d.width - frame.getSize().width) / 2, (d.height - frame.getSize().height) / 2);
      frame.setVisible(true);
      frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { System.exit(0); } });
   static {
      try {
         UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
      catch(Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
   void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      CPrintUtilities p = new CPrintUtilities();
      p.AddPage(jPanel1);
      p.print();
}
