Print HTML in Landscape

Question

Hello,
I have rendered my HTML on a JEditorPane with Editable set to false. The pages are displayed fine on the screen. However, when I try to print I have a problem. If I print in Portrait, everything prints just fine (only everything doesn't fit on the page). However, if I switch to Landscape (which should be an easy switch--pf.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE)), only the background of my tables prints on the page. Any ideas on this?
  public void printReport() {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
            JPanel allPages = new JPanel();
            allPages.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,1));
            for (int i=0; i<pages.size(); i++) {
                ((ReportPageHTML)pages.elementAt(i)).setPreferredSize(new Dimension(725,554));
                ((ReportPageHTML)pages.elementAt(i)).setMinimumSize(new Dimension(725,554));
                 allPages.add((ReportPageHTML)pages.elementAt(i));
                ((ReportPageHTML)pages.elementAt(i)).addPageNumber(i+1,pages.size());
                ((ReportPageHTML)pages.elementAt(i)).setText();
            } //for
            JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(allPages);
            frame.getContentPane().add(scrollPane);
           scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300,100));
           frame.setSize(600,400);
           frame.setVisible(true);
           frame.setState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);
        PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PageFormat pf = printJob.defaultPage();
        pf.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
        double smallMargin = .4 * 72;
        Paper paper = pf.getPaper();
        paper.setImageableArea(smallMargin,smallMargin,(paper.getWidth() - (2*smallMargin)),(paper.getHeight()-(2*smallMargin)));
        pf.setPaper(paper);
        Book book = new Book();
        for (int i = 0; i < pages.size(); i++) {
            book.append((Printable)pages.elementAt(i),pf);
        printJob.setPageable(book);
     if(printJob.printDialog()) {
            try {
                printJob.print();
            } catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Print Exception " + e); }
       frame.dispose();
    }//printReport()

Hi!
Your code looks a bit to difficult i think...
I think it would be much easier, if your writing a class, wich Prints out the whole JEditorPane.
- create a new class thats implements Printable
- int the constructor you give the class your JEditorPane and save it in the class
MyEdPanePrint(JEditorPane ep) {
this.ep = ep;
- write the      
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page)with:
-set the Pane undouble-buffered
-set the size (fixed size, or depending on pageformat pf);
-set it visible
-scale it, if you wanna change the resolution of the paper
-transform your GraphicsContextDevice
-print your JEditorPane
this is the standard way of printing as i would say.
It's easier and better to understand than your to print..
kind regards
