I am not sure, it is just a windows system and I am trying to print to the command line. Please suggest me how I can find out if my console supports it.Use the CHCP command to find out what code page your console uses. And as already suggested, Google is a good resource if you don't know what a "code page" is.

Help with code to print HTML in Java 5

Hi,
The following code works and runs successfully..
However, the printing in Java 1.4.2_03 is better than Java 5 (latest version).
i.e in particular the characters are not monospaced compared with compiling with Java 1.4.2_03. e.g si so ss squashed together.
This issue does not seem to occur when running the same code in Java 1.4.2_03. (I haven't tried other 1.4.2 java versions).
Any help would be appreciated. We really need this working under Java 5 or bust.

/* DocumentRenderer prints objects of type Document. Text attributes, including
    fonts, color, and small icons, will be rendered to a printed page.
    DocumentRenderer computes line breaks, paginates, and performs other
    formatting.
    An HTMLDocument is printed by sending it as an argument to the
    print(HTMLDocument) method. A PlainDocument is printed the same way. Other
    types of documents must be sent in a JEditorPane as an argument to the
    print(JEditorPane) method. Printing Documents in this way will automatically
    display a print dialog.
    As objects which implement the Printable Interface, instances of the
    DocumentRenderer class can also be used as the argument in the setPrintable
    method of the PrinterJob class. Instead of using the print() methods
    detailed above, a programmer may gain access to the formatting capabilities
    of this class without using its print dialog by creating an instance of
    DocumentRenderer and setting the document to be printed with the
    setDocument() or setJEditorPane(). The Document may then be printed by
    setting the instance of DocumentRenderer in any PrinterJob.

/* The print method implements the Printable interface. Although Printables
    may be called to render a page more than once, each page is painted in
    order. We may, therefore, keep track of changes in the page being rendered
    by setting the currentPage variable to equal the pageIndex, and then
    comparing these variables on subsequent calls to this method. When the two
    variables match, it means that the page is being rendered for the second or
    third time. When the currentPage differs from the pageIndex, a new page is
    being requested.
    The highlights of the process used print a page are as follows:
    I.    The Graphics object is cast to a Graphics2D object to allow for
          scaling.
    II.   The JEditorPane is laid out using the width of a printable page.
          This will handle line breaks. If the JEditorPane cannot be sized at
          the width of the graphics clip, scaling will be allowed.
    III. The root view of the JEditorPane is obtained. By examining this root
          view and all of its children, printView will be able to determine
          the location of each printable element of the document.
    IV.   If the scaleWidthToFit option is chosen, a scaling ratio is
          determined, and the graphics2D object is scaled.
    V.    The Graphics2D object is clipped to the size of the printable page.
    VI.   currentPage is checked to see if this is a new page to render. If so,
          pageStartY and pageEndY are reset.
    VII. To match the coordinates of the printable clip of graphics2D and the
          allocation rectangle which will be used to lay out the views,
          graphics2D is translated to begin at the printable X and Y
          coordinates of the graphics clip.
    VIII. An allocation Rectangle is created to represent the layout of the
          Views.
          The Printable Interface always prints the area indexed by reference
          to the Graphics object. For instance, with a standard 8.5 x 11 inch
          page with 1 inch margins the rectangle X = 72, Y = 72, Width = 468,
          and Height = 648, the area 72, 72, 468, 648 will be painted regardless
          of which page is actually being printed.
          To align the allocation Rectangle with the graphics2D object two
          things are done. The first step is to translate the X and Y
          coordinates of the graphics2D object to begin at the X and Y
          coordinates of the printable clip, see step VII. Next, when printing
          other than the first page, the allocation rectangle must start laying
          out in coordinates represented by negative numbers. After page one,
          the beginning of the allocation is started at minus the page end of
          the prior page. This moves the part which has already been rendered to
          before the printable clip of the graphics2D object.
    X.    The printView method is called to paint the page. Its return value
          will indicate if a page has been rendered.
    Although public, print should not ordinarily be called by programs other
    than PrinterJob.

I have finally cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The issue is definitely with Java Sun. "Uneven character spacing when printing JTextComponent"
It is raised on the http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6488219
And currently in OPEN state, and raised on 31 Oct 2006 and mentions it was caused by fix 4352983.
So where do we go from here. It's not good because I have tried all later version of the JVM and the issue is still there.
Why? Because it hasn't been fixed yet. Read the bug report above, as it gives more insight -- and mentions the workaround is NOT good for existing code.
So the way forward is to use an earlier version of the JVM 5.
I download the JVM version 1.5.0 (starting version) and works Ok... I would probably think version prior to 4352983 would be Ok too.
Please vote for this.... We have a workaround (use older version of the JVM).
So I am very happy.

Printing a PDF Object to Label printer from AS Java

Hello,
at the moment I am looking at a requirement to print from a Java application in a standalone single stack AS Java installation. Currently I would like to use the Adobe Document Services to print to a label printer (e.g. Zebra). This should all be done on the server side.
What I've found that there are hints how to do that using a FM in the ABAP stack. But a ABAP Stack is not available.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Christoph Mertins

Have you checked to see if the "Print As Image" option is inadvertently checked? In the Print dialog, click the Advanced button then look for the checkbox.

Monitor Print Queue with java program

I'm plan to write a client/server based application which control the printing for every user. I've no idea how to start on the application.
1. Is it possible to monitor the print queue or print job using java application?
2. How does the server react if the client sending the print job to there? How's the client can trigger the signal during printing and send to the server?
Thank you!

I'm plan to write a client/server based application
which control the printing for every user. I've no
idea how to start on the application.You should establish feasibility first, before planning to write anything
1. Is it possible to monitor the print queue or print
job using java application?Not really. Print queues are highly system-dependent things and some e.g. Windows can really only be accessed via system calls in a native language.
2. How does the server react if the client sending
the print job to there?Err, it prints the file?
How's the client can trigger the signal during printing and send to the server? What signal?
But I suspect the answer to the first question makes the others irrelevant.

How to control the printing resolution in JAVA

Do we have any control on printing resolution in JAVA?
If yes, how?
Because I can print out the component but its resolution is same as screen or even less.

Hi,
Maybe you have to be more explicit. What do you want to print? What Component? Only a image? A Swing component (JTree, JTable, JPanel, etc)?

Printing chinese w/ Java Print Service API become garbled characters

I'm using XP platform and I've a plain text file on my drive.
Now, what I want to do is, to read the text file in, then print it, that's all.
However, the printout become messy, just some garbled characters.
I did try to change quite a different ways to read the file, but the printout is still messy.
Is there anything wrong? Can somebody give me a help?
package com.ysf.document.client.ups;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
public class Class1
   public static void main(String[] args)
      String filename = "c:\\temp\\abcd.txt";
      DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE;
      PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
      // locate a print service that can handle it
      PrintService[] pservices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset);
      // create a print job for the chosen service
      int printnbr = 1;
      DocPrintJob pj = pservices[printnbr].createPrintJob();
      try
         int c;
         FileReader f = new FileReader(filename);
         StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
         c = f.read();
         while (c != -1)
            buffer.append((char) c);
            c = f.read();
         Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(buffer.toString().getBytes("BIG5"), flavor, null);
         pj.print(doc, aset);
      } catch (IOException ie)
         System.err.println(ie);
      } catch (PrintException e)
         System.err.println(e);
}

For #1, indeed, it's my overlook, I've corrected it already.
For #2, it shows, java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1.
It's mainly because my printer do not support this flavor.
My printer supports only:
image/gif
[B OR java.io.InputStream OR java.net.URL
image/jpeg
[B OR java.io.InputStream java.net.URL
image/png
[B OR java.io.InputStream OR java.net.URL
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref
java.awt.print.Pageable OR java.awt.print.Printable
application/octet-stream
[B OR java.net.URL OR java.io.InputStream
Up to now, still no solution to it. Anybody help.

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.

Browser printing setting in Java

Hello!
I want to have following browser printing setting using java.
(1)     Page Size
(2)     Page Margins
(3)     Page Orientation
(4)     Default Printer
How can I get those?
Regards,
Chetan

But is it possible to get those info via JavaScript?Probably. Google will tell. Here is how to use it.
Type http://www.google.com into your browser's address bar and hit enter. (then bookmark the page, it is very useful)
Type in some keywords related to your question. An example migh be "Javascript print page setup" or something like that. Then hit the search button.
Browse through the links for any suitable pages that may answer your question.
If you do not find a suitable answer, maybe look through those links to find a Javascript forum where you can ask the question to people more likely to know.

Printing unicode characters in Java - help

Hi there,
I want to print out unicode characters through java programming language in windows system. For example, I want to print Devanagari characters. I found out that '\u0900' to '\u0975' represent devanagari characters. So I tried following,
out = new PrintStream(System.out, true, "UTF-8");
out.println('\u0911');
but they print characters like �� and not the actual devanagari characters. Just to be more clear, devanagari script is used by Hindi, Nepali and similar languages.
If you knew about it and could give any suggestions, that would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure, it is just a windows system and I am trying to print to the command line. Please suggest me how I can find out if my console supports it.Use the CHCP command to find out what code page your console uses. And as already suggested, Google is a good resource if you don't know what a "code page" is.

Printing unicode from an xml file

I have a unicode character in an xml file
say
< item name="Notification" value="hi amigo\u0041" />
When I parse this file and try to print out the String value I get the follwoing output
hi amigo\u0041
Thoug what I expected was
hi amigoA
any idea what am I doing wrong or what am I missing?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep I tried that too.
if I try it with ) I get
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:

< item name="Notification" value="hi amigo\u0041" />
instead of this you should use
< item name="Notification" value="hi amigo)" />
you would not get the exception if you dont miss the semi colon. I guess you must have been missing that
< item name="Notification" value="hi amigo)" />

Unicode and Java

Hi
As we all know Java treat character literals as Unicode characters. I have been studying Unicode and the way they treat characters and I have a doubt which is not specific to Java code but specific to Unicode.
Unicode states that each character is assigned a number which is unique, this number is called code point.
The relationship between characters and code points is 1:1.
Eg: the String *"hello"* (which is sequence of character literals) can be represent by the following Code Points
*\u0065 \u0048 \u006c \u006c \u006f*
I also read that a certain character code point must be recognized by a specific encoding or else a question mark (?) is output in place of the character. Not all code points can be recognized by an encoding.
So, the letter *ל* would not be recognized by all encodings and should be replaced by a question mark (?) right?
The interesting is that this code point represents a different character and not a *"?"* in other encodings. It should print the same character
This is the HTML code I used for tests (save it in your hard disk and open using your navigator, then select the following encodings: UTF16, ISO-8859-1)
<html>

מעיל אחד בגשם, לילה של אפריל
נפתח כמו ענן, ורעם אז מאיר
מעיל אחד בגשם, לילה חם וקר
נפרס כמו חופה, ומתחת אני שר
מעיל אחד בגשם, רטוב, למי אכפת
אני לא על הארץ, איתך למעלה שט
רוח בפנים, טיפות הגשם האחרונות
נוגעות בלחיים, בפנייך משחקות
אמצע הרחוב, כולם כבר ישנים
הייתה עדה הרוח ועוד שני כוכבים
אמצע הרחוב, כולם כבר ישנים,
הייתה עדה הרוח ועוד שני כוכבים
ראיתי זוג עיניים, מסרבות להיפתח
צוללת אל עצמך עמוק בים שלך,
מדי פעם את עולה, לוקחת קצת אויר
לא רוצה להיסחף, מכירה את המחיר
אמצע הרחוב, כולם כבר ישנים...
</body>
</html>I would appreciate if you correct me in case I am wrong!

The relationship between characters and code points is 1:1.Uhm .... let's assume "yes" for the moment. (Note that the relationship between the Java type char and code point is not 1:1 and there are other exceptions ...)
Eg: the String *"hello"* (which is sequence of character literals) can be represent by the following Code Points
*\u0065 \u0048 \u006c \u006c \u006f*Those are the Java String unicode escapes. If you want to talk about Unicode Codepoints, then the correct notation for "Hello" would be
U+0048 U+0065 U+006C U+006C U+006F
Note that you swapped the H and e.
I also read that a certain character code point must be recognized by a specific encoding or else a question mark (?) is output in place of the character.This one is Java specific. If Java tries to translate some unicode character to bytes using some encoding that doesn't support that character then it will output the byte(s) for "?" instead.
Not all code points can be recognized by an encoding.Some encodings (such as UTF-8) can encode all codepoints, others (such as ISO-8859-*, EBCDIC or UCS-2) can not.
So, the letter *ל* would not be recognized by all encodings and should be replaced by a question mark (?) right?Only in a very specific case in Java. This is not a genral Unicode-level rule.
(disclaimer: the HTML code presented was using decimal XML entities to represent the unicode characters).
What you are seing is possibly the replacement character that your text rendering system uses to represent characters that it knows, but can't display (possibly because the current font has no character for them).
