Printing in Java 1.4 - printJob.getGraphics() causes exception

Hi,
I'm trying to print (using java 1.4) however the code
'printJob.getGraphics()' (where printJob is a PrintJob object) seems to cause an exception (see below..)
Could anyone please tell me a bit more about what this exception means?
Thanks a lot!
Kat

I have this problem, too. I have seen numerous references to it in the forum, but no solution - not even something to try! I have tried printing to the same printer using an HP LaserJet III driver and had success, but then IT ALSO STARTED GETTING THE SAME EXCEPTION!!! The same code on another PC has no errors and runs every time. We are comparing to see what the difference is between the two machines in hopes of finding a solution. But the one that fails worked yesterday! We really could use some help on this one...

Problem in printing a java swing form

Hi,
Could anyone help me on how to set the page margings while I print a java swing form since it is taking a lot of space as margins in the top right top and bottom how do i do that. or is it that java can only print in the printable area or is there any way i can increase the scope of the printable area

I used PrintRequestAttributeSet and set the margins to 0.5 on all four sides by creating an instance of MediaPrintableArea. By default, the margins on all sides comes up as 1.0 inch. Default paper size is LETTER (8.5 x 11).
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(0.5f,0.5f,7.5f,10.0f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(component);
if(printJob.printDialog(aset))
printJob.print(aset);
hope it helps.

Configure client printer in java.awt.print

I have number of records in database.
If User clicks on PRINT button (ON A JSP PAGE)each record should be printed(ON CLIENT PRINTER) on a separate sheet.
I can only able to access printer connected to server not to client.
I am using javax.print and java.awt.print packages

I am not sure this..
Instead of if pls give while and check:
try{
while(rsValue.next()) {
g.setFont(fntHeading);
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.drawString("Main Report",200,100);

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

XML Printing from Java

I have an urgent request from my company's client to implement a feature of printing in our application.
Actually the application is basically an XML Builder which generates XML code at the backend, something like Dreamweaver.
I have no clue about printing in Java, and have not much time to research on this topic. If anybody have a program to send an XML file to print (Color printing if possible), please post here or email me at [email protected]
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated (Dukes Dollars also available).
Thanks

PL/SQL log messages are not printing from Java concurrent program

Hi,
I have a strange issue while submitting the Java concurrent program through PL/SQL.
I have a PL/SQL concurrent program which will invoke the Java concurrent program inside the package by use of "FND_GLOBAL.SUBMIT_REQUEST". It worked and submitted successfully. From that Java concurrent program we are calling some other PL/SQL packages and printing some log messages over there. But problem here is the request is only printing the Java log messages in view log but not the PL/SQL log messages. But if I submit the Java concurrent program directly from SRS form at that it is printing both Java and PL/SQL log messages.
I am just wondering how the log messages has not printed. Please provide your inputs to solve this problem.
Thanks
Suriya

I'm adding log messages in the package body , but these messages are not printing after completion of concurrent prog.
Any suggestions.

Text Printing in Java

How can i print characters with different styles in a dotmatrix printer using print api

Well, getting the text from your JTextField should be rather easy: myJTextField.getText().
To print it, you'll have to create an Graphics object and draw the text using the drawString method on a Graphics objects: myGraphics.drawString(myText, x, y). You will need to set the right font on the graphics before that (using the setFont() method).
You can then use this Graphics object to print.

Printing in java - text positioning

Hi there, I need some pointers in the right direction please.
I need to print a page out to fill in a pre-printed sheet. The data to go onto the sheet is purely numbers, but the pre-printed sheet is not in a table format (the boxes where the data goes are in seemingly random positions.)
I am currently completing the task by laying out a panel in the way I want it and using the printComponent method, but this obviously isnt the best way to do it as all I need to print out is text.
How is the best way to go about this? Is it possible to define the position of each line of text?
Cheers. :)

Printing From Java "The most F%&()�G stupid thing in the world"

I have Spent the whole day trying to print a JPanel out of My application. I have gotten the panel to print but the print is not consistant. If the User Changes the Size of the Fame the Panel size Changes and Dimensions of the Plot Changes (aspect ratio). This happens because A print call makes a an image and then scales the image!!! Would it not make way more sence to scale the Jpanel to fit into the specified page size and then make an image to print! I anyone nows of way to do this Please!!!!!!!! let me know.

I think the above post is an understatement, Printing in java is pretty much useless unless you can create your own framework, which you have to pretty much be a guru to create, but fortunately there was a nice guy, named Jean-Pierre Dube' who wrote an atricle for javaworld.com titled Printing in Java which provides a framework. It is really good. Initially I tried to print a JPanel and had the same problem as you, but then I read the article and used the framework and it did exactly what I wanted it to. I think what it does is take the programmed size (or preffered size) so if in your program you have specified the JPanel size (600,600) it will print it out in this size even if the person changes the size of the frame.
Hope this helps and a big thanks to Jean-Pierre Dube'
There are also a few other print Frameworks out there for free such as JFreeReport which is another good one, and I'd like to thank those guys if they happen to read this as well ( by the way, they made a post a few days ago stating a new version was out, and someone snubbed them by saying that this was not the place for advertising, but I think it is great they let us know, nothing wrong with being informed of a good freeware, especially for stuff that makes up where java lags. Thanks guys at JFreeReport).

Send a txt file to the printer with java

Hello,
I want to sent a txt file to the printer in java. I' am using the USB port. I can try to setup a dos command (print c:\test.txt), but I don't know the exactly command.
There is also another solution in java I thing but I don't know the code!
Can somebody give me the exact command for DOS and/or the code I have to write in java?
THANX!!!!

in dos imo you are not able to use usb-port. if your printer would be on lpt you could use javacomm ( http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/index.html ). there is also another thread talking about this (print text to lpt). for your usb-problem i don't have a solution. but you could use JNI (java native interface). write code in c, compile to dll and use it in java.

Printing in java? Does anyone know how?

Um ......cant seem to find any tuorials on printing in java.
Does anyone know how. I have a bit of text in a JTextArea that i just wanna print directly to the printer. No hassles.

If you're trying to print in JDK 1.2 or 1.3 there is an online tutorial here:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/forDevelopers/sdk12print.html
Things have drastically changed for Java 2, JDK 1.4, and the new printing API/User guide can be found here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/jps/
I have been having trouble with the locating printservices with the jdk 1.4, but it is still in BETA, so that could be the problem.

Warning Noob: Sending "Hello World!" in Printer using Java Applet

Hello guys!
im a newbie in java programming... i hope that you can help me with my problem.
how can i print "Hello World!" in printer using java applet. lets pretend that the applet is digitally signed.
i tried window.print in javascript but unfortunately, that is not what i am looking for.
thanks for reading my post and i hope that you help me with my quest in java =)

An applet is still part of the Swing package. I assume you're extending JApplet. There isn't anything in the print API that says it can't be done in an applet. Except that you might have to sign your applet Jar file with a digital certificate to get the printing to work.

Finally cause Exception be forgotten

In trying out that finally cause previous return value be forgotten, as described on page 206 of "The Java Programming Language, 3rd edition", I wrote the following code, and tested it with jdk1.3.1. To my supprise, not only the return value was forgotten, the exception was appeared forgotten as well:
class PException extends Exception {
class Final {
    void f1(int i) {
     int result;
     System.out.println("f1("+i+")");
     try {
         result = f2(i);
         System.out.println("result = " + result);
     } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println("caught an Exception: " + e);
     try {
         result = f3(i);
         System.out.println("result = " + result);
     } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println("caught an Exception: " + e);
    int f2(int i) throws PException {
     try {
         if (i == 1) {
          System.out.println("generate exception");
          throw new PException();
         return 1;
     } finally {
         return 2;
    int f3(int i) throws PException {
     if (i == 1) {
         System.out.println("generate exception");
         throw new PException();
     return 1;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     Final f = new Final();
     f.f1(1);
     f.f1(2);
     f.f1(1);
}Here is the result:
f1(1)
generate exception
result = 2
generate exception
caught an Exception: PException
f1(2)
result = 2
result = 1
f1(1)
generate exception
result = 2
generate exception
caught an Exception: PException

The concern here is that when the
try {
finally {
}pattern is used, without the catch block, purelly for flow control purpose, a return statement in the finally block could be problematic. If a finally block ends with a return statement, any exception that might be thrown in the try block would be ignored. The unhandled exception will not propergate, it simply lost in the midst. Because any code could throw unchecked exception, if the exception cannot afford to be lost, then one should be careful not to use return in the finally block. See the following test code:
class Finally {
    void test() {
     int result;
     System.out.println("test()");
     try {
         result = f1();
         System.out.println("result = " + result);
     } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println("Caught an Exception: " + e);
     try {
         result = f2();
         System.out.println("result = " + result);
     } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println("Caught an Exception: " + e);
     try {
         f3();
     } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println("Caught an Exception: " + e);
     try {
         f4();
     } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println("Caught an Exception: " + e);
    int f1() {
     System.out.println("f1()");
     int a = 0;
     int b = 0;
     try {
         a = 1/0; // this generate an unchecked exception
         b = 1;
     } finally {
         return b; // this return clobber the unchecked exception
    int f2() {
     System.out.println("f2()");
     int a = 0;
     int b = 0;
     a = 1/0; // this generate an unchecked exception
     b = 1;
     return b;
    void f3() {
     System.out.println("f3()");
     int a = 0;
     int b = 0;
     try {
         a = 1/0; // this generate an unchecked exception
         b = 1;
     } finally {
         return;   // this return clobber the unchecked exception
    void f4() {

f1()
result = 0
f2()
Caught an Exception: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
f3()
f4()
Caught an Exception: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
We see that the devide by zero exception throw by f1() simply vanished, the unintended result 0, instead of the intended result 1, is returned. The test() method did not detect any abnormality in f1(), which is scary. To drive the point home, we try f3() and f4(), which has void return type. A simple return statement in f3() causes exception be lost. The stack frame seems intact, for otherwise, the test() method would exit abruptly before f2() even get a chance to be called.

Printing in Java 1.4 - printJob.getGraphics() causes exception
