import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.text.*;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
import java.awt.font.LineBreakMeasurer;
import java.awt.font.TextLayout;
import java.util.Vector;
public class Print implements Printable {
private AttributedString mStyledText = null;
private Vector msg = new Vector();
public Print( Vector msg ) {
this.msg = msg;
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int pageIndex) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
/* Move the origin from the corner of the Paper to the corner
* of the imageable area.
g2d.translate(format.getImageableX(),format.getImageableY());
/* Set the text color.
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
/* Use a LineBreakMeasurer instance to break our text into
* lines that fit the imageable area of the page.
Point2D.Float pen = new Point2D.Float();
for ( int i = 0; i < msg.size(); i++ ) {
mStyledText = new AttributedString((String)msg.get( i ) );
AttributedCharacterIterator charIterator =mStyledText.getIterator();
LineBreakMeasurer measurer = new LineBreakMeasurer(charIterator, g2d.getFontRenderContext());
float wrappingWidth = (float)format.getImageableWidth();
while (measurer.getPosition() <charIterator.getEndIndex()) {
TextLayout layout = measurer.nextLayout(wrappingWidth );
pen.y += layout.getAscent();
float dx = layout.isLeftToRight() ? 0 :(wrappingWidth - layout.getAdvance());
layout.draw(g2d, pen.x + dx, pen.y);
pen.y += layout.getDescent() +layout.getLeading();
if ( pageIndex > 0 ) {
return this.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
}else {
return this.PAGE_EXISTS;
try this class. the msg Vector contains the text lines that you would like to print.
Hope this helps.
