Printing a Component using Graphics

Question

Hi-
I have a corky situation where in I need to print some text well formatted in a JEditorPane. Now I can print the EditorPane as a whole but the problem is, I need to print some additional parameters in the report as well. In brief,
<code>
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int page)
     if (page > 0)
          return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
     Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
     g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX()), pageFormat.getImageableY());
g2d.drawString("Name and Address", .......);
//****** Here I draw the formatted text from the Editor Pane, which is in HTML Tags.
          return (PAGE_EXISTS);
</code>
Please throw in some suggestions.
Thanks !
Norman

Can you please help me format this. The printed JLabel has to fit inside the rectangular box printed and somehow it goes and gets itself aligned on top. Please Help !
<code>
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int page)
     // Draw the border
     RoundRectangle2D.Double border =
          new RoundRectangle2D.Double(
               0,
               168,
               pageFormat.getImageableWidth(),
               300,
               PrintConstants.ARC_WIDTH,
               PrintConstants.ARC_WIDTH);
     g2d.draw(border);
// Now Painting the Label
     javax.swing.JLabel printLabel = new javax.swing.JLabel();
     printLabel.setText(getHTML());
     printLabel.setFont(COMMENT_REGULAR_FONT);
     printLabel.setForeground(java.awt.Color.BLACK);
     printLabel.setBorder(new javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder());
     printLabel.setBounds(2, 168, pageFormat.getImageableWidth(), 300);
     printLabel.paint(g2d);
