Printing

[asai]

Hi,

I have a little problem with my code, and hopefully someone in here can see where I am goin wrong and point me in the right direction..

Here is the code:

private void cmdPrintActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printerJob.setPrintable((Printable) this);   
boolean doPrint = printerJob.printDialog();
PageFormat pf = printerJob.defaultPage();
Paper paper   = pf.getPaper();
paper.setImageableArea(2.0, 2.0, paper.getWidth(), paper.getHeight());
pf.setPaper(paper);
if(doPrint){    
try {     
printerJob.print();
} catch (PrinterException ex) {     
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ex.getMessage());  
}   
}
        
this.dispose();
        
}

And this:

public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) throws PrinterException {  
if (pageIndex > 0) {
return(NO_SUCH_PAGE);
} else {   
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
printPanel.print(g);
return(PAGE_EXISTS);    
}    
}

The thing is that I print the printPanel, and it doesn't fit the paper.
That is what I want... I have tried a few things, but I am stuck...
