JApplet drawing printing

[mitra]

Hi everybody.........

I have a problem with my program. And I need ur help.........

package freeHandDrawJappletInternalFrame;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class PrintApplet2 extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
    Graphics2D g2;
    CanvasPrint2 fdc;
    
    @Override
  public void init(){
      this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
      JPanel panel = new JPanel();
      this.add(panel);
      Button print = new Button("Print");
      print.addActionListener(this);
      fdc = new CanvasPrint2();
      panel.add(fdc,BorderLayout.NORTH);
      panel.add(print,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

      
  }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    }
}

class CanvasPrint2 extends Canvas {
    public CanvasPrint2() {
        setSize(200, 200);
        setBackground(Color.yellow);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
            //CanvasPrint1(){
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        //Graphics2D g2 = null;
    g2.setColor(Color.blue);
    g2.drawLine(30, 30, 80, 80);
    g2.drawRect(20, 150, 100, 100);
    g2.fillRect(20, 150, 100, 200); 
    g2.fillOval(150, 20, 100, 100); 
    }
}

now I want to print the drawing objects over the CanvasPrint2 class through my printer.
Not the whole applet, just the area specified by the CanvasPrint2 () constructor.

And how can I do it?
Please help......

Thanks

Can't you just draw it to a BufferedImage, and then print that out?

Thank you very much for your reply.........
can you provide me a sample base on the above program?

Kevin as you said, I have tried bufferedImage() method.
First I have created and save image in a location and then from it I have printed out. But the image and printout both are too poor in quality, its not so clear, hazy.
