How to print list of file contents of a HDD

Hi Everyone!
(Sorry for using a quote---The copy/paste from my old Text Editor does not work here.... why not? Only if I am doing a quote)
I have a Mac G4 (yes) with Tiger 10.4.11 (yes still) and I have two backup drives.... They should be evenly "filled" but there is over 26 GB difference so that one is going to be running out of space sooner than I want it to. I have 100's of files... I need some program that works under Tiger to either:
1. Print the contents of the HDD (the file names/sizes, etc---there is something that does this in Windows, why not Mac?).
or
2. A program that compares the contents automatically between the two HDD's. Again I have used one on PC's but its really old and company no longer makes it for PC's. Is there one for Mac? I have no idea how to express it to look it up. (I never have both of the HDD's all hooked up by Firewire at same time---afraid of overloading old Mac).... so only if there is a program that does this working under Tiger would I then come back here to ask a question for how to get the two drives hooked up to compare the contents and find out what is taking up extra space.
Mostly the drives have iPhoto items in it so it could be simply a double-entered iPhoto Roll/Album---but never thinking I'd have to compare them---most of the titles begin the same exact way---too difficult to go over unless I can cross off a printed sheet to compare the two drives---or have a computer do that for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading me!

Hi BDAqua!
Thanks for the links! I'll take both of them! (If they fit in my old HD)
Explaining a bit more----I'm using a "PC" to write these questions (yes I have a bunch more) about the old Tiger Mac 10.4.11 G4.
I only have working TenFourFox7450 and OmniWeb as my only two ways to get online now. Very slow. Very limited windows I can open at once to compare or research things, so I'm back on the PC to do all that and copy and paste quotes here for you. Seems once I pass the first question, the only thing Quote does is quote your message---I managed to cheat a bit and got what I wanted to copy from the Tex-Edit page to show up instead..
You recommended that I choose Tex-Edit Plus PPC Version 4.9.8---but as you see above that is only for 10.1 to 10.3 versions..... is there some reason why the Tex-Edit Plus (Beta) above is bad for me? It says 10.4 or higher.
Or why not use the "Universal" Tex-Edit Plus? Seems that covers 10.4?
I got both TextWrangler and Tex-Edit Plus "Universal" Edition to work on the Mac!
Page numbers on the Tex-Edit! Wow!
Thanks!
Also (saving address for later) that page has Eliza on it.. which I had long time ago.... but lost somewhere among all the other programs. So thanks for showing me I can find and add it in later on when I get more space on HDD
I'll type now my reply to your earlier message/posting!

How to print a text file contents using java.

Using Input and Output streams I can add and retrive the contents to/from text file. But how to send this file contents to the printer or how to print the file.

Example from my code:
   private void printErrorReport()
      PrintJob pjob = getToolkit().getPrintJob(m_frame,null,null);
      if (pjob != null) {
        Graphics pg = pjob.getGraphics();
        if (pg != null) {
          String s = detailsArea.getText();
          printLongString (pjob, pg, s);
          pg.dispose();
        pjob.end();
// Utility method needed
   void printLongString (PrintJob pjob, Graphics pg, String s) {
     int pageNum = 1;
     int linesForThisPage = 0;
     int linesForThisJob = 0;
     // Note: String is immutable so won't change while printing.
     if (!(pg instanceof PrintGraphics)) {
       throw new IllegalArgumentException ("Graphics context not PrintGraphics");
     StringReader sr = new StringReader (s);
     LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader (sr);
     String nextLine = "       ";
     int pageHeight = pjob.getPageDimension().height;
     pageHeight -= 20;
     Font helv = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 12);
     //have to set the font to get any output
     pg.setFont (helv);
     FontMetrics fm = pg.getFontMetrics(helv);
     int fontHeight = fm.getHeight();
     int fontDescent = fm.getDescent();
     int curHeight = 0;
     try {
       do {
         nextLine = lnr.readLine();
         if (nextLine != null) {

       } while (nextLine != null);
     } catch (EOFException eof) {
       // Fine, ignore
     } catch (Throwable t) { // Anything else
       t.printStackTrace();
     System.out.println ("" + linesForThisPage + " lines printed for page " + pageNum);

You list holds java.io.File objects, which you are casting to a java.lang.String. Needless to say, you can't do that: you need to cast them to the appropriate object and then create a String representation from that object.

How to print to a file?

Hi Guys! I want to know how to print to a filethe contents that's availble in a panel or a container Object. It could be anything. May be text, graphics, formatted texr and many more. Can you pleas guide me. Consider this urgent.

hm.. do you mean write to a file?
read this for more details. It reads and write to a .txt
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/filestreams.html
to seralizate an object, the class must "implements Serializable"
eg
CustomDataExample implements Serializable {
CustomDataExample corg = new CustomDataExample(4);
ObjectOutputStream so = new ObjectOutputStream(fo);
so.writeObject(corg);
for Object seralization read this
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/serialization/examples/custom/CustomDataExample.java
No idea about graphics.

How to print a HTML file in browser look using DocPrintJob

Hello guys,
Does anyone know how to print HTML output/file into browser look?
I'm using DocPrintJob and the DocFlavor set to DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE.
posted below is my code :
public class BasicPrint {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Open the image file
            String testData = "C:/new_page_1.html";
            InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(testData));
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
            // Find the default service
            PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
            System.out.println(service);
            // Create the print job
            DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
            Doc doc= new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
            // Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
            // see e702 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
            PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
            // Print it
            job.print(doc, null);
            // Wait for the print job to be done
            pjDone.waitForDone();
            // It is now safe to close the input stream
            is.close();
        } catch (PrintException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    static class PrintJobWatcher {

        boolean done = false;
        PrintJobWatcher(DocPrintJob job) {
            // Add a listener to the print job
            job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobAdapter() {
                public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                void allDone() {
                    synchronized (PrintJobWatcher.this) {
                        done = true;

}the printed ouput for this code will be look like this
<html>
<body>
<div style="page-break-after:'always';
            background-color:#EEEEEE;
            width:400;
            height:70">
     testPrint</div>
ABCDEFGHIJK<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>however, the output that i want is the HTML in browser look not HTML code itself.
i've tried to change the DocFlavor into any TEXT_HTML type but it gives error:
sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor if you guys has any idea or solution, can you share with me... already search in Google but still not found any solution
Thanks in advanced.

How to print a pdf file from Labview

Hi,
Does anyone know how to print a pdf file form Labview. I need to be able to point on the pdf file and to print it.
Activex examples doesnt seem to be working it always displays an error, on every PC that I tryed to run it.
{"code 3005" ,,,"Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Display PDF in Dialog.vi"}.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Jenia.

You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
"<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
For example"
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"

How to print a PDF file that was display in my page...

Hi !. My doubt would be the following one... I would like to know how to print a pdf file that was displayed in my page ?... I mean the PDF file not the page...
The PDF would be in this url:
http://iprodesa.lasegunda.com.ar:8090/datos/pdf/830.pdf
How could I implement this ?...

This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

How to print list view of Finder window

I want to print a list of the contents of a disk or a folder, just as I see it in the Finder's list view. How is this done in Tiger? In some older versions of the OS there was a menu command for this operation, something called Print Directory, I think.

There may be more user-friendly ways of doing this, but here's one way:
Open Terminal (in the Utilities folder).
Use "cd" to change directory to the folder you want to print
eg cd /Users/myuser/Documents
Use "ls" to list the contents to a file
ls -al > filelist.txt
You can then open the filelist.txt file from Finder in TextEdit and print it.

How to print a text file using Java

How can I print a text file using Java without converting the output to an image format. Is there anyway I can send the characters in the text file as it is for a print job? I did get a listing doing this ... but that converted the text to an image format before printing....
THanks,.

Hi I had to write a print api from scratch, and I did not convert the output to image. Go and read up on the following code. I know there is a Tutorial on Sun about the differant sections of the snippet.
private void printReport()
     Frame tempFrame = new Frame(getName());
     PrintJob printerJob = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(tempFrame, "Liesltext", null);
     Graphics g = printerJob.getGraphics();
                //I wrote the method below for calculations
     printBasics(g);
     g.dispose();
     printerJob.end();
}This alone wont print it you have to do all the calculations in the printBasics method. And as I said I wrote this from scratch and all I did was research first the tutorial and the white papers
