Printing in JLayeredPane
Okay I have a JLayeredPane which I want to print. There are two layers to it which each has a panel on it. The panels have some 2D graphics and components on it which I want to print out.
When I print, all I get is a blank piece of paper, obviously cause the stuff I want printed isn't being rendered. Should the print method in the JLayeredPane automatically include the graphics from all its layers, or do I have to do something manually to include the two layers that I want rendered and printed?
Maybe the getGraphics just works for the DefaultPane, so if that's the case, how do I add the graphics from each layer to the Graphics object in the print method?

I am also doing the same to print a component. I need to print a table data. When i send myTable object
PrintUtility.printComponent(myTable).
It just prints as much table data as fits into 1 page. But i want to print whole table data that may be multipage. Please suggest something if can. thanx -
Hello all,
I created a printable class that works in Windows and Linux, but for some reason will not work on Mac OS X. It either prints a blank page or throws a nasty exception:

Trouble printint to a Dell Laser MFP 1815dn.
Check if the Dell driver is PPC. If it is, and if you installed the first version of Apple's latest Security Update, then that's probably where the issue is, because it broke Rosetta, the software which runs PPC code under SL. Re-install the Sec Update (the problem is fixed in v1.1, which replaced the goofy version on Apple's servers) through Software Update or by downloading it again, then re-install the Dell driver, and try again.
Apple stuff is great, except for their casual disregard of their customers who want to use any product that is not Apple
I'm sorry, but that's non-sense. I'm no fan of Apple, but they're no better and no worse than any large corporation of this type. Mostly, they do things which make business sense as they see it -- which is exactly what you'd want, if you had serious money invested in Apple shares -- wouldn't you?
In this instance, it was up to Dell to release an Intel Mac driver for this printer/scanner, which is, what, 5 or 6 years old? If they didn't, it was probably because they decided it didn't make business sense for them to spend money on developing and testing one. Keep in mind that Dell and Apple and Microsoft and all the rest are in business to make money, not to support every single customer for ever and ever and a day. -
Create an image of a JLayeredPane 's content
hi there,
we have a problem here: we'd like to create one image out of a JLayeredPane`s content. but the only thing we get is a gray box which size is the size of the JLayeredPane.
the purpose is: we're developing a graphic tool where you can draw and arrange objects in the JLayeredPane(which is in a JScrollPane). and now we're implementing the print-function which allows to print the graphs over several pages, therefore it is neccessary to have an image(*.jpeg) for our printpreview-window. the preview-window and the printfuntion are nearly implemented and the only problem is that we cant make an image of the JLayerdPane's content.
maybe you have an idea or codesamples...
thanks a lot in advance!!
george1. Getting any JComponent to render onto a buffered image isn't a problem -- just call paint, passing it a graphics object backed by that buffered image.
2. Writing an image to a file isn't a problem: use javax.imageio.ImageIO.

comp.paint(g2);
g2.dispose();
try {
ImageIO.write(image, "jpeg", new File("image.jpeg"));
} catch(IOException e) {

}Why does the saved image have a magenta background? JLayerPane, by default, is non-opaque. You can set it to be opaque and choose its background color, as you like. -
Newbie problem - printing JTextArea
Dear Collective Wisdom,
I'm befuddled and need help. I've been learning Java on my own. I'm new to Java programming and am probably committing a typical novice's error.
I have a JTextArea defined in a JScrollPane in a JLayerPane in a JFrame. I have a button and event handler defined to create a print job with that text. The print dialog box gets called up in the browser, but when I do a print preview, the browser just sits there, spinning in what appears to be an infinite loop. I'm including the code segment below. If anyone has experience with this, and can either spot a major flaw or has some code that does the job, I'd be very grateful.

Font of JLayeredPane and color of JOptionPane.showMessageDialog
how can I change font from bold to regular and vise versa in Caption of JLayeredPane
and how can I change color of JOptionPane.showMessageDialog?
Thank YouGeorge, you have been extremely helpful. You don't know how much I appreciate your knowledge and patience.
1. Seems like going this option, we would be better served just making a web-based form. I'll pass that on to the Powers-That-Be.
2. Not to imply these folks are computer-illiterate, but the users completing the forms are plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, carpenters, etc. In fact, they get a good number of printed, hand-written, snail-mailed forms submitted. I really don't know the likelihood of getting these users to download and install Reader 11.
Again, thanks so much for your time and expertise.

Printing components found on a JPanel
hy,
I have created a JPanel, where I have inserted some buttons
onto it. How can I print the contents of the JPanel (That is
print the buttons found on the JPanel
thanksOK, its like this... with a JLayeredPane you have a DRAG_LAYER which is used to handle this type
of activity... by promoting the component to this layer you are gauranteed that it will be painted last, (ie..
overpaint the other layers.)
In order to model this type of behaviour, you will need to:
1) Override your panel's panitComponents() method and paint all except the active panel..
2) Finally send the paintComponent() to the active component...

JLayeredPane not recieving mouse Events.
When I try to add a MouseListener to a JLayeredPane, it does not pick up the mouse events at all. Or when I even try to add it to the only JPanel I added to the LayeredPane, still no mouse events. I never set the glassPane to visible, so I have no idea why the mouse events aren't going through.
Your code won't compile. For one the layered constructor is within your MouseAdapter anonymous class. You are far better off posting compilable code here.
edit: also, you are not overriding MouseAdapter methods. That would help get your code to work.
Try compiling with an @Override annotation to see what I mean:
private MouseAdapter exitListener = new MouseAdapter()
@Override
public void MousePressed(MouseEvent e) // does this compile? MousePressed != mousePressed
System.out.print("yrs");
}capitalization matters:
MousePressed != mousePressed

Questions on Print Quote report
Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

Yes, your understanding is correct.3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks

I use mail and ical for everything now. Everything is fine except When I want to print the "list view" which shows my “to dos”. It displays the URL the “do to” is attached to in mail. I use notes often in mail and enter to dos in the notes so they will have URL links. The link only becomes a nuisance when I want to print, otherwise it’s very useful.
Why would the long URL paths display when in print view???!!!!! It doesn’t make any sense.
Is there anything I can do?
Thank youecernek,
There is no event list option on iCal like the one on the iPhone.
That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.
