Printing with JDK 1.1.8

Hi All -
I have the need to be able to perform a 'print-screen' operation in my application. I have the functionality implemented with JDK1.3 using the Printable interface, etc, and all is well.
I am now being asked to down-grade the application to utilize JDK1.1.8 (b/c of a limitation in HP's 10.2 operating system using only 1.1.8). One of the problems I'm seeing is that of printing.
Does anyone out there have any advice / ideas / sample code to perform printing with 1.1.8? Is it even possible?
Thanks!

Make a copy of your main frame and use it to get a print job. If the Graphics retultant is bigger than the page resolution, loop and move the root coords of Graphics with translate.

HELP!! Printing with jdk 1.1.x

Hi, I'm using getPrintJob (jkd 1.1.x), and I want to know how to print without viewing the print Dialog(I'm using windows), so I can print directly to the printer.
Thanks.

If you don't need to support 1.1.1 and lower, then you can use the classes in the java.awt.print package. Follows is a snippet that will show you how:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
public class PrintDocument implements Printable
     PageFormat thePageFormat;
     PrintDocument ()
     public void paint ( Graphics g )
          g.drawRect(1,1, (int)thePageFormat.getImageableWidth() - 2, (int)thePageFormat.getImageableHeight() - 2);
          System.out.println("<paint>");
     public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)
          throws PrinterException
          if ( pageIndex == 0)
               Paper thePaper = pageFormat.getPaper();
               graphics.drawRect((int)pageFormat.getImageableX()+1,
                                 (int)pageFormat.getImageableY()+1,
                                 (int)pageFormat.getImageableWidth() - 2,
                                 (int)pageFormat.getImageableHeight() - 2
               graphics.drawString("Test", (int)pageFormat.getImageableX() + 40,
                                           (int)pageFormat.getImageableY() + 40);
               return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
          else
               return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
     public void doStuff ()
          try
               PrinterJob theJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
               if ( thePageFormat == null )
                    thePageFormat = theJob.defaultPage();
               thePageFormat = theJob.pageDialog(thePageFormat);
               if ( true /*theJob.printDialog()*/ )
                    theJob.setPrintable(this);
                    theJob.print();
          catch ( Exception ex )
               System.out.println("ex: " + ex);
     public static void main ( String[] args )
          PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();
          printDoc.doStuff();
}BTW I threw this together this afternoon after learning about it, so there may be one or two errors, but it goes to illistrate what's possible.

Java print caused JVM crash on Vista platform with JDK 1.5.0_14

Platform: JDK 1.5.0_14 + Vista
The issue didn't exit in windows XP or 2003. It's only Vista specific.
I found the bugs (6358747/6574633 and 6395356) in SUN’s official site. SUN developer only fixed the bug 6358747/6574633 for XP (fixed in JDK 1.5.0_11 and 1.6) and marked the bug 6395356 for Vista as duplicate, that is, the bug for Vista was not fixed at that time. In the meanwhile I ran the code posted in the bug report (6358747/6574633) with JDK 1.5.0_14 on vista. The issue still occurred. That means, 6395356 was not actually a duplicate of 6358747/6574633.
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6358747 or http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6574633 - For XP
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6395356 - For Vista
Currently I knew the bug for vista has been fixed in higher JDK version (1.5.0_18 or above). But our application is based on 1.5.0_14 and we didn't solve the issue by upgrading the JDK version because some other reasons. So I would like to know if there is a workaround?
In addition, the bug for XP has a workaround posted in the bug report link. But I didn't find the similar settings for Vista. Anyone could help me?
*[Workaround for XP]*
Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Lanuages Tab-> Pressed "Details..."
to bring up the "Text Services and Input Languages" dialog and there select
the "Advanced" tab and CLEAR the option to
"Extend support of advanced text services to all programs".

The only solution for a bug is to install a version in which it is fixed. In this case I would highly recommend making the effort to upgrade to Java 6, as Java 5 is end of life already and with good reason: its ancient technology. What are you going to do otherwise? Keep using Java 5 until you phase out your software? The problems are only going to grow as time passes and will ultimately cost you a lot more money than it will do right now to make the upgrade efforts.

Select the printer tray using the Java Print Service with JDK 1.4.2

Hello,
I have got a problem with 1.4 Printing. I would like to specify the printer tray for printing on Windows platform (XP and NT4.0). I am trying to use the attribute javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray class (ex. MediaTray.BOTTOM).
Howerver, I can control the printer tray if I use the PCL driver of the printer. If I user the postscript driver I am not able to control the printer tray. I can reproduce the problem with 3 different printers (HP, Lexmark and Nashuatec).
I used the getSupportedAttributeValues to check the supported values of the Media
Media med[] = (Media[])service.getSupportedAttributeValues(Media.class, null, null);
for (int k=0; k<med.length; k++) {
System.out.println("Name : " + med[k].getClass() + " - Value : " + med[k].getValue());
With the PCL driver I have the following output and I can control the printer tray.
Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 0
Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 2
Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 4
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 0
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 1
With the postscript driver I have the following output and I cannot control the printer tray
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 5
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 6
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 7
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 8
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 9
As I must use the postscript printer, can someone help me?
Thanks.

Hello,
Can you tell me how it's possible to selet the tray using the PCL?
I print on the following way:
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
AttributeSet aset = new HashAttributeSet();
aset.add(new PrinterName("\\\\107208\\SBE08111", null)); // select printer
......Now I tried to add your code and I get the following output:
0: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 40
1: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 41
2: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 45
3: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 42
4: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 4
5: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 5
6: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 27
7: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 46
8: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 59
9: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 60
10: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 55
11: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 38
12: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 16
13: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 57
14: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 0
15: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 2
16: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 1
17: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 6
18: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 4
19: Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 0
20: Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 1
It's a printer with to trays, so I suppose the last two lines are important, but I'm not possible to effectively select the tray I want to print..

A problem regarding set up of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on Win 95, with JDK 1.1.8 &java 2

A problem regarding set up of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on Win 95, with JDK 1.1.8 and Java 2 SDK ( Ver 1.3 Beta)
After the installation of Oracle Lite 3.6.0.2.0 on a laptop (with WIN 95 OS), When I run Oracle Lite Designer from start menu, I receive following error message :
====================================
Invalid class name 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'

====================================
My ORACLE_HOME is c:\program files\ora95_2 and Oracle Lite is installed under the ORACLE_HOME in LITE\DESIGNER directory.
JDK version is 1.1.8 which is greater than 1.1.4 installed in c:\program files\jdk1.1.8, My PATH, and CLASSPATH are set in AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:
set CLASSPATH=c:\Progra~1\jdk1.1.8\lib\classes.zip;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\classes\olite36.jar;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\designer\oldes.jar;c:\progra~1\ora95_2\lite\designer\swingall.j ar

And, I can run JAVA.EXE from any directory on command prompt.
With JAVA 2 SDK (ver 1.3 Beta) instead of JDK 1.1.8 I'm getting a different Error message as follows:
=============================
java.lang.NoClassFoundError: 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'
Please make sure that JDK 1.1.4 (or greater) is installed in your machine and CLASSPATH is set properly. JAVA.EXE must be in the PATH.
==============================
the PATH and CLASSPATH were set accordingly, as with JDK1.1.8, and there was no classes.zip in classpath
also the class file or the jar file looks weird or wrapped in the error message : 'FILES\ORA95_2\LITE\DESIGNER\oldes.jar;C:\PROGRAM'
Another interesting thing I noticed is if I run oldes.exe from Installation CD, the Oracle Lite Designer runs fine, and without error, I'm able to modify tables in the database of my laptop also.
Could someone shade some light on what am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks for help in advance .
Regards

Cannot print on a USB printer with Java PrintService in Windows 2000. Why?

I want to print a simple ASCII file on a USB printer under Win2K and
found 2 problems. Here is the 2nd one.
Even though
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(<DocFlavor>, <AttributeSet>)
returns nothing when I specify any AttributeSet, I can still print on the default printer, which I get by
PrintService defServicedefService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
but only on a parallel printer (HP Laserjet 4 Plus), either directly attached or over the network. When I try the very same code on a locally USB-attached printer, the printer is obviously reacting, but nothing is printed.
In case of a Lexmark 730 (an ink printer), the driver even lies, it has printed 100%,
on a Samsung CLP-510 (a color laser) the ready light flashes twice, that's all.
The file to be printed has 5 lines and a "0C"X at the end in order to force a page eject at the end.
I tried it with JDK 1.4.2 and with Java 6, same problem.
I should mention that I can print that little file out of the editor Textpad without any problem.

Thanks a lot for the quick hint, but it did not help.
I used BasicPrint.java and PrintJobWatcher.java of the samples for testing.
Printing a GIF file works both to a parallel printer and a USB printer.
Then I changed only the DocFlavor from DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.GIF to DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, and that one works with my parallel printer, but on the USB printer the Ready light flashes twice, that's all.
The ASCII file must have a "0C"X at the end to force a page eject on the parallel printer
Maybe it is a matter of the DocFlavor, but which one?
DocFlavor("application/octet-stream", "java.io.InputStream") works like DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE.
DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_HOST and DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_HTML_US_ASCII cause sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException, and with DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII just nothing happens on either printer, not even an error message.
I am getting the impression that nobody of the developers ever cared for testing such a simple thing as a plain ASCII file under Windows.
My printers I am using for the tests are
1. an old parallel-attached HP Laserjet 4 Plus and
2. a borrowed USB-attached Samsung CLP-510 color laser

Printing with jdk1.1.8

Hi...I am developing an application for mac(classic) where i need to provide the print functionility.Now Mac supports only upto jdk1.1.8.Has someove ever developed printing with this...code will definetly help.........

You should start with java.awt.Toolkit.getPrintJob(java.awt.Frame, java.lang.String, java.util.Properties)
to obtain a PrintJob.
From the PrintJob object you can get a Graphic by using the Method getGraphics().
On you first try, produce the Output for the page in some visible AWT component, so you can see it.
E.g. put your stuff in a panel and add this panel to a Window.
Then print the Top-Level Component ( thats the panel) that contains your Output by
calling printAll(Graphics g) on it, with the Graphics object from above.
Notes:
You have to take care for Printer borders - your output will be clipped there.
Code was tested on JDK 1.3, but is designed for JDK 1.1
Example: Test.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test {
static Frame f;
static Panel panelToPrint;
static class Handler implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
//get a PrintJob (opens the native window)
PrintJob pj = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(f, "Print-Test", null);
//get a graphics object to draw on
Graphics g = pj.getGraphics();
panelToPrint.printAll( g );
//end the print job, now it is sent to the printer
pj.end();
f.dispose();
public static void main(String args[]) {
f = new Frame("Test");
Button b = new Button("Print...");
b.addActionListener(new Handler());
f.add(b,"South");
panelToPrint = new Panel();
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
panelToPrint.add(new Label("Hello World"));
f.add(panelToPrint, "Center");
f.setSize(new Dimension(300,400));
f.setVisible(true);

How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
The printer is out of ink.
The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.
How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?
Mac OSX 10.7.3

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
You should be ashamed!!

Unable to print with my Canon PIXMA IP 4700 and JetDirect network appliance

After many tries I decided to post my question.
I have a Canon PIXMA IP 4700 connected to the network with a Jetdirect 175X box. So I tried to add a new printer with a "HP Jetdirect Socket" port. I have previously installed the driver from the official website. The test page is staying on the spooler.
I also tried with LPD port (supported by the Jetdirect box) and IPP but nothing is working.
When the printer is directly connected with USB, it's working fine. Printing from my others Windows computers is working fine too since many months.
Thank your for your help.

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your problem is being caused by the Canon driver. It cannot be used when the printer is connected to the USB port of a 3rd party print server, or if shared by Windows.
The solution is to use a driver like Gutenprint or PrintFab. Gutenprint is preferred because it is free (it ships with OS X) however the iP4700 is not listed as a supported model. The iP4600 is listed so you could try selecting this model in the Print Using menu (shown as Canon PIXMA iP4600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3). If the iP4600 Gutenprint driver does not work that well then you could look at using [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net] which does support the iP4700. It costs €49 but there is a 30 day trial so at least you can try it before committing to buying.
Another option would be to use a Airport device, like the Express, instead of the Jetdirect print server. With the printer connected to its USB port you can then use the Canon iP4700 driver on the Mac.

How to print with HP Deskjet 2510 with Imac G5 on Tiger ?

Hi Folks
I desperately need some helping hand....
Today my old trusty printer died (HP 1510 print/scan/ copy) and I ran to buy another one because I need to finish some tax paperwork.
In a mad hurry, I didn't pay any attention to tech specs and I went home with brand new HP DeskJet 2510 All In One device. But !!! : ((
In my home office I still use Imac G5 with 10.4.11 which is still pretty good comp for office work but I found out that the HP 2510 don't officially support my Imac with Tiger. Only from 10.6 and later.... I know that Imac G5 can't run nothing above 10.5.
So, is there any way to "force" HP 2510 to somehow recognize my Imac G5? In "about my mac" on USB port, the HP 2510 is visible ....
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sven

So, is there any way to "force" HP 2510 to somehow recognize my Imac G5?
You may be able to get it to print with something like this:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
although i do not see taht modle on the "Supported Printers" page. You might look again.
BUT that workabout does not support scanning, only printing.
I think you need to return the printer and look to either Canon or Brother. Brother especially has been better about suporting older Mac OS versions but you'll still need to get a model number and search the maker's site BEFORE buying to see if they show older drivers for download.

Remote printing with iPad

I have installed the HP Print app on the iPad and have no issues printing when I am on the local net work. When I try and print when I am not on the network I receive an error that states: "oops we cannot complete the print job please try again" and there is a retry or cancel selection. My printer is set up with an email address. I can print from my Samsung note 2 using the HP Print app with no issues either on the network or off. Any ideas?

Have you tried the ePrint mobile app?

HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

Install that and let me know the result!
