How to do Print, Print Preview & Page Setup?

Question

do you have any sample to do Print, Print Preview & Page Setup.
thanks very much!

Answer 1

I have a JTable on a dialog and wanted to print it. I discovered the following method (may or may not work for you).
1) Simply extend your class to implement Prinatable....
public class EbertPanelProductivityHistory extends JPanel implements Printable {
2) As pare of your class in #1 make a print() method as follows (i.e. implement print() for Printable)
public int print( Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int page ) {
int i,j,k,x,y;
Graphics2D g2d;
// We're done! (page is 0 based)
if( page >= ReportDataPrintPageCnt ) {
return (NO_SUCH_PAGE);
// Create a graphic2D object and set the default parameters
g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.setColor( Color.black );
etc. etc. etc....
// PRINT IT!!!
return( PAGE_EXISTS );
3) And then you can print yourself...
private void PrintActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
PrinterJob PrintJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); // printer access - instance of PrinterJob
/**** THIS IS OURSELF - i.e. our class with print() implemented that implements Printable **********/
PrintJob.setPrintable(this); // this class implements Printable - see print()
PrintJob.setJobName( Title ); // job name
if( PrintJob.printDialog() ) {                    // print dialog!
try { PrintJob.print(); } catch (Exception e) {
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, MSG_ID + MSG_ERR + e.getMessage(), "Alert", javax.swing.JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
