Hi , i created small gui frame and wanted to take a print out of that frame with all the contents. it was running successfully without any errors in my machine (xp service pack 3), but when i tried to run it another machine (xp service pack 2) with jre environment i couldn't take a hard copy , sheet is processing without any marks (blank paper). Can any one explain why this is happening..
Thanks,
Uthpala
How did you run your application in the second machine, with the source or did you build the application?
yes, i built the application, a * .jar file is running on second machine.
It looks rather like you might be making calls to Swing methods off of the EDT. To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE *
* SSCCE : Java Glossary
db
what is this SSCCE ? i have no idea.
Means this.
Did you go through the link that Darryl post in his last post? Click on the second result on that page and read it.Quote:

How did you run it and did you get any error messages ?Quote:

Please use code tags when you posting again here in the forum. Unformated codes are really hard to read. If you don't know how to do it, please check on my forum signature. You can find the link to the relevant page.
Is this initialized properly?
Code:Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
no idea.... what do u suggest ?
What I'm ask is that following values are set properly?
Code:pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY()
yes....... it's.......
someone PLEASE HELP ME..... this is little bit urgent....
