To JPG - JPanel(with JTable and g) on JScrollpane

Question

hi need help on this one, i have a JPanel inside a scrollpane that i want to convert to JPG. This JPanel contains Tables labels and some drawings.
everytime i convert it to JPG the only thing that shows up is the one that im seeing in the screen meaning what is being viewed by the JScrollPane. The other parts i dont get to save.
But what i need to save as JPEG is the whole panel even outside of the view of the Scrollpane.
how do i do this... please help
thanks very much
here is a code that i used, i pass the scrollpane component to this
public static void saveAsJPEG(Component component,
float quality, String filename) {
   try {
     Dimension d = component.getSize();
     d.height = 657;
     BufferedImage bimage = new BufferedImage(d.width, d.height,
                               BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
     component.paint(bimage.createGraphics());
     Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)bimage.getGraphics();
     g.setPaint(Color.white);
     if(!filename.endsWith(".jpg"))filename += ".jpg";
     OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
     JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
     // Create JPEG encoder
     JPEGEncodeParam jpegParams =
             encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(bimage);
     jpegParams.setQuality(quality, false);
     // Set quality to (quality*100)% for JPEG
     encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(jpegParams);
     encoder.encode(bimage);
     // Encode image to JPEG and send to browser
     out.close();
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File successfully saved");
     catch (Exception e) {
     System.out.println(e);
}
