JAva Printing (Paper Size)

Question

Hello
I've got a big problem when printing some labels to a printer from java.
The label printer is a Toshiba Tec B-SV4
I need to print some labels to the printer. The labels have a 4 by 4 inch size.
The first thing I do is select the printer:
        PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        try {
            printerJob.setPrintService(services[selectedService]);
        } catch (PrinterException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }Then I pass some attributes:
PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        MediaSizeName mediaSizeName = MediaSize.findMedia(4,4,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
        System.out.println(mediaSizeName.toString());
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(mediaSizeName);
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(new MediaPrintableArea(0, 0, 288, 288,MediaPrintableArea.INCH));I also set the page format:
        PageFormat pf = new PageFormat();//pj.defaultPage();
         Paper p = new Paper();
         p.setSize(288,288); // about 4in x 4in
         p.setImageableArea(0,0,288,288);
         pf.setPaper(p);
        printerJob.setPrintable(this,pf);
        printerJob.setPrintable(this,printerJob.pageDialog(pf));The problem comes when printing.
If I show the native print dialog to the user (WindowS), the correct paper size for the label is not selected.
Instead, if I show the cross-platform printDialog, the correct paper size doesn't appear in the options, the options shoud be "User, 2 x 4, 4 x 4, 4 x 6", instead, you just can select between "2 x 4 and 4 x 6".
In the native version, all options appear
Any suggestions?
ThanlYou

Answer 1

I was wrong when I typed the code into the forum, the actual code shoul look like follows:
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        MediaSizeName mediaSizeName = MediaSize.findMedia(4,4,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(mediaSizeName);I solved the problem (not the best solution but functional) installing some generic drivers from:
http://www.nicelabel.com/downloads/drivers/tec.php
maybe this can help someone with the same problem.
The fact is I would like a better solution rather than using 3rd party drivers.
Thanks for your anwser Franck.
