Printing user's entry.

[mConfused]

Hi there guys. I have been trying to get the user's input from a textbox to print but so far have been unsuccessful. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class PrintingTest extends javax.swing.JFrame implements Printable{
 
    JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
    JTextField txtTest = new JTextField("Write something here :D");
 
    /** Creates new form PrintingTest */
    public PrintingTest() {
        displayPanel();
    }
 
    public void displayPanel()
    {
        JButton btnTest = new JButton("Test !");
 
        mainPanel.add(txtTest);
        mainPanel.add(btnTest);
 
        btnTest.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
                btnTestActionPerformed(evt);
            }
        });
 
        this.add(mainPanel);
 
        mainPanel.setSize(400,200);
        mainPanel.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
    }
 
    private void btnTestActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
    {
        // Get the rep of the current printer & print job
        PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
 
        // Page formating before printing
        PageFormat format = new PageFormat();
        format = printerJob.pageDialog(format);
 
        // Build a book containing pair of page painters (Printables)
        // and PageFormats. This example has a single page.
        Book book = new Book();
        book.append(new PrintingTest(), format);
 
        // Set the obj to be printed (book) into PrinterJob.
        printerJob.setPageable(book);
 
        // Show print dialog to user.
        boolean doPrint = printerJob.printDialog();
        if (doPrint)
        {
            try
            {
                printerJob.print();
            }
            catch (PrinterException e)
            {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Unable to print + Error : "
                        + e);
            }
        }
    }
 
    public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int pageIndex)
    {
        String entry = txtTest.getText().trim();
 
        // Java 2D
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
 
        // Move origin from the corner of paper to corner of imageable area
        g2d.translate(format.getImageableX(), format.getImageableY());
 
        // Perform rendering of text
        g.drawString("What is going on ?" , 5, 10);
        g.drawString(entry , 5, 20);
 
        // Set text colour
        g2d.setPaint(Color.BLACK);
 
        return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
     }
 
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new PrintingTest().setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
}

Hi guys. I manage to find the solution but a very basic one. It is as simple as just getting the textfield/textarea and add a print method. But now the difficult question is to get multiple inputs and print it all into one page. if anyone has an experience, do post it here ! Thanks :)
