Please help me.
attached is the code for printing:
public class PrintUtilities implements Printable {
private Component componentToBePrinted;
public static void printComponent(Component c) {
new PrintUtilities(c).print();
public PrintUtilities(Component componentToBePrinted) {
this.componentToBePrinted = componentToBePrinted;
public void print() {
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(this);
if (printJob.printDialog())
try {
printJob.print();
} catch(PrinterException pe) {
System.out.println("Error printing: " + pe);
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) {
/* get component width and table height */
Dimension dimension = componentToBePrinted.getSize();
double compWidth      = dimension.width;
double compHeight     = dimension.height;
/* get page width and page height */
double pageWidth      = pageFormat.getImageableWidth();
double pageHeight      = pageFormat.getImageableHeight();
double scale = pageWidth / compWidth;
/* calculate the no. of pages to print */
final int totalNumPages= (int) Math.ceil( ( scale * compHeight ) / pageHeight );
if (pageIndex > totalNumPages) {
return(NO_SUCH_PAGE);
} else {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
g2.translate( 0f, 0f );
g2.translate( 0f, -pageIndex * pageHeight );
g2.scale( scale, scale );
disableDoubleBuffering(componentToBePrinted);
componentToBePrinted.paint(g2d);
enableDoubleBuffering(componentToBePrinted);
return(PAGE_EXISTS);
/** The speed and quality of printing suffers dramatically if
* any of the containers have double buffering turned on.
* So this turns if off globally.
* @see enableDoubleBuffering
public static void disableDoubleBuffering(Component c) {
RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(c);
currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
/** Re-enables double buffering globally. */
public static void enableDoubleBuffering(Component c) {
RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(c);
currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(true);
THANKS

Use freely downloadable smart jprint class AtDocumentPrinter from http://www.activetree.com. This package alos allows you to print contents of any kind of JTextComponent such as JTextField, JTextArea, JEditorPane, and JTextPane.
It breaks the text, images and forms into multiple pages by breaking horizontally and vertically. JTable printing is specially interesting.
