Here is the code:

//GUIFrame.java

import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;
import javax.swing.Icon;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JCheckBox;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JRadioButton;
import javax.swing.ButtonGroup;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;

public class GUIFrame extends JFrame{
private JLabel label1,labelQuality;
private JList list1,list2,list3;
private JCheckBox checkBox1, checkBox2,checkBox3,checkBox4;
private JRadioButton radioButton1,radioButton2,radioButton3;
private JComboBox comboBox;
private JButton button1,button2,button3,button4;
private ButtonGroup radioGroup;

public GUIFrame(){
super("Printer");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
label1=new JLabel("Printer: MyPrint");
label1.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.TOP) ;
label1.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LE FT);
add(label1);

Icon img1=new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("1.gif"));
JLabel labelImg1=new JLabel(img1);
add(labelImg1);


checkBox1=new JCheckBox("Image");
add(checkBox1,BorderLayout.EAST);

checkBox2=new JCheckBox("Text");
add(checkBox2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

checkBox3=new JCheckBox("Code");
add(checkBox3,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

Icon img2=new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("2.gif"));
JLabel labelImg2=new JLabel(img2);
add(labelImg2);

radioButton1=new JRadioButton("Selection",false);
radioButton2=new JRadioButton("All",true);
radioButton3=new JRadioButton("Applet",false);

radioGroup=new ButtonGroup();
radioGroup.add(radioButton1);
add(radioButton1);

radioGroup.add(radioButton2);
add(radioButton2);

radioGroup.add(radioButton3);
add(radioButton3);

Icon img3=new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("1.gif"));
JLabel labelImg3=new JLabel(img3);
add(labelImg3);

button1=new JButton("OK");
add(button1);

button2=new JButton("Cancel");
add(button2);

button3=new JButton("Setup...");
add(button3);

button4=new JButton("Help");
add(button4);

labelQuality=new JLabel("Printer Quality:");
labelQuality.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants .LEFT);
labelQuality.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.B OTTOM);
add(labelQuality);

String comboChoices[]={"High","Medium","Low"};
comboBox= new JComboBox(comboChoices);
comboBox.setMaximumRowCount(2);
add(comboBox);

checkBox4=new JCheckBox("Print to File");
add(checkBox4);


}
}

Try a GridBagLayout. Have you ever used a Visual Editor. I use Eclipse and I like it alot.

I'm not 100% sure, but isn't GroupLayout also a choice? In this code, I would visualize three main groups, maybe four... one for check boxes, one for radios and one for the column of button choices to the right.

Sorry for answering late...
Thanks alot both of you for helpin me...I downloaded some of the tutorial from the Internet and finally solved it using GridLayout..

Regarding Eclipse, I haven't ever used it but I think I should download it, I heared many Java programmers used it.
