Hi all,

Well, I'm currently trying to print my extended version of JTable, but I am not having too much luck. I'm trying to print on a 8.5" by 11" piece of paper in Landscape format. I was wanting about a 1/2 inch on the left and right sides of the table and a 1" margin on the top and bottom of the jtable from the end of the piece of paper.

I thought I had it almost as I wanted it except the JTable is not getting printed like it should. I think it might be a scaling problem. The first column and sometimes even more of the beginning of the JTable fails to be printed. The code for initializing a print session is below.

Does the width and height in landscape go to being reversed (i.e. now width = height of paper; height = width?)

if( event.getSource() == printButton )
{

	PageFormat x = new PageFormat();
	x.setOrientation( PageFormat.LANDSCAPE );
	Paper f = new Paper();
				
	f.setImageableArea( 72, 72, 792, 864 ); 

	f.setSize(792, 864) ;
				
	System.out.println("Height: " + f.getHeight() );
	System.out.println("Width: " + f.getWidth() );
				
	System.out.println("x: " + f.getImageableX() );
	System.out.println("y: " + f.getImageableY() );
				
	x.setPaper( f );

	PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
	table.setShowGrid( false );
	printJob.setPrintable( (exTable)table, x );

	if ( printJob.printDialog() )
	{
					
		try
		{
			printJob.print();
		}
		catch ( PrinterException pe )
		{
			pe.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

	table.setShowGrid( true );
	table.revalidate();

}

This is the code that over rides the print method in my version of JTable from the Printable interface. Most of the code is from a previous forum post, and it's hardly changed.

public int print( Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex )
{
		
	Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
         	g2.setColor(Color.black);    //set default foreground color to black

        	RepaintManager.currentManager(this).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
        
        	Dimension d = this.getSize();    //get size of document
        	double panelWidth  = d.width;    //width in pixels
        	double panelHeight = d.height;   //height in pixels
        	double pageHeight = pageFormat.getImageableHeight();   //height of printer page
        	double pageWidth  = pageFormat.getImageableWidth();    //width of printer page
        	double scale = pageWidth/panelWidth;
        	int totalNumPages = (int)Math.ceil(scale * panelHeight / pageHeight);

        	// Make sure not print empty pages
        	if(pageIndex >= totalNumPages)
        	{
        		return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
        	}

        	RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(this);
   		currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);

        	// Shift Graphic to line up with beginning of print-imageable region
        	g2.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
        	// Shift Graphic to line up with beginning of next page to print
        	g2.translate(0f, -pageIndex*pageHeight);
        	// Scale the page so the width fits...
        	g2.scale(scale, scale);
        	this.paint(g2);   //repaint the page for printing
        	
	return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}

Any tips, recommendations would be much appreciated.
