SetFileName for print to file doesn't work

I have a questions about print to file with java.awt:
With Java 1.4, when I use setFileName in the JobAttributes class, as soon as the user clicks on Print to File, this file name shows.
However, with Java 1.5, this file name does not show, a different file name shows. The reason why I want my file name to show is that I need a specific extension.
I do need to use java.awt, I cannot use javax.swing, because for printing to the printer, I need to call my own paint.
Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Well, I am saying:
JobAttributes jobAttributes = new JobAttributes();
jobAttributes.setFileName("out.ps");
But even though this filename worked in Java 1.4 for printing to file, in Java 1.5 and Java 1.6, it doesn't recognize this filename, it always makes it "out.prn".
Please help!
Here is my total printing code:
class PrintableComponent implements Printable
public PrintableComponent()
public void print()
PrintJob printJob;
PrinterJob printerJob;
String string = new String();
JobAttributes jobAttributes = new JobAttributes();
PageAttributes pageAttributes = new PageAttributes();
PageFormat pageFormat = new PageFormat();
jobAttributes.setDialog(JobAttributes.DialogType.NATIVE);
jobAttributes.setFileName("out.ps");
pageAttributes.setOrigin(PageAttributes.OriginType.PRINTABLE);
pageAttributes.setPrintQuality(PageAttributes.PrintQualityType.HIGH);
printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(Basics.ananyaCurves, null, jobAttributes, pageAttributes);
if (jobAttributes.getDestination() == JobAttributes.DestinationType.PRINTER)
if (pageAttributes.getOrientationRequested() == PageAttributes.OrientationRequestedType.PORTRAIT)
pageFormat.setOrientation(1);
else if (pageAttributes.getOrientationRequested() == PageAttributes.OrientationRequestedType.LANDSCAPE)
pageFormat.setOrientation(0);
printerJob.setPrintable(this, pageFormat);
printerJob.setCopies(jobAttributes.getCopies());
printJob.end();
try
printerJob.print();
catch (PrinterException printerException)
System.out.println(printerException);
printJob.finalize();
else if (jobAttributes.getDestination() == JobAttributes.DestinationType.FILE)
string = jobAttributes.getFileName();
printJob.end();
canvas.paintFile(string);
printJob.finalize();
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int pagenum)
throws PrinterException
Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D)g;
g2D.translate(format.getImageableX(), format.getImageableY());
if (pagenum > 0)
return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
canvas.paintForPrinter(g2D);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
Thanks for looking at this!

  • Changing the order for printing portfolio files in adobe acrobat 9 pro

    Does anyone know how to change the order for printing pdf files that are part of a portfolio in adobe acrobat 9 pro?  The documentation seems to say that it prints files alphabetically by filename rather than by the internal sort order.  This won't work for me. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even.

  • JSP referencinc taglib.tld in JAR file doesn't work.

    I have some custom tags which work fine under Weblogic 5.1 when I do a

              try to reference the taglib.tld located in a JAR file, then weblogic

              when it is in a JAR file.
              Can anyone shed some light on referencing the taglib.tld in a JAR file.
              This should work, as it is covered in the JSP 1.1 specification.
              FYI - the jar file is in the same location as the JSP which references

    i created a file and named it MANIFEST.MF .i wrote inside it :

    Then i placed it in a folder with the test.class .I created jar file using command line.
    I entered the test.class path and then wrote this command :
    jar cvfm myjar.jar MANIFEST.MF *.class
    Then the jar file "myjar.jar" is created .
    it's executed but this function "public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) " won't wrok.
    i keep pressing the buttons but nothing is happening !!So you get 'no output in the console & no effect in the applet'?
    What is the URL where I can see your applet failing?
    As an aside, since Sun does not guarantee that applet clients will act on the showDocument command, even if it does not work, it would not be a 'bug'.

  • Read From Binary File doesn´t work on MCB2400 in LV2009 Embedded ARM

    Hello,
    I try to read a Binary File from SD-Card on my MCB2400 Board with LV2009 Embedded for ARM.
    But the output is always 0, if I use my VI on the MCB2400. If use the same VI on the PC it works fine with the same binary file.
    The
    access to the SD-Card on the MCB2400 works in other cases finde, if I
    try to read from a text-file it works without any problems.
    Are thre any constraints for the "Read From Binary File"-Node in Embedded in comparison to the same node on PC ?
      I have noticed that there is also a problem
    with the reading of textfiles. If the sice of the file is about 100Byte
    it doesn´t work anymore, too. I can´t understand it, because I read
    always just one Byte. And even if the implementation in Labview is so
    bad that it allways reads the total file in the ram it sould work. The
    MCB2400 has 32MegaByte RAM, so 100Byte or even a few MegaByte should
    work.
    But this doesn´t seem to be the Problem for the Binary-Problem. Because even a 50byte Binary-File doesn´t work.
    bye & thanks

    Hello,
    thank you for your Help.
    But I just want to read a Binary File, which is build by another program. And this is coded with 8Bit (like a normal Binary File) and not just with 7Bit (ASCII). So the workaround doesn't work in my case.
    I posted the Test-VI in my first post (here once again as picture). And it works fine on the PC, but if I try it on my MCB2400 the "Read Form Binary File" Node doesn't work.
    And it is also possible to open the Bin file with the "Read Text File" Node and see the cryptic content of the Bin-File. So the Problem seems to be in the "Read Form Binary File" Node.
    bye & thanks again
