unable to print components in JPanel

[raj.mscking@gmail.com]

Good Morning!
I am new for this "Printing" section in java, by implementing Printable

i try to print all that components (JLabels) which are inside the JPanel

i can do it by the fallowing print methods, but it prints only the JPanel not with it's components..,

public int print(Graphics gx, PageFormat pf, int page) throws PrinterException {
			if (page>0){return NO_SUCH_PAGE;}
			Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)gx;
			g.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
                        //panll.paintAll(gx);
                        panll.paint(gx);
                        return PAGE_EXISTS;
		}

Anyone can help me to learn this section & what changes have to do with my code please,
Thank you..,

Printing can be pretty complex, and I recommend you simplify your problem as much as possible both for your benefit -- a simpler program is much easier to debug, and for ours -- if your program doesn't work, you can post it here, and we'll have a better chance of being able to give you good help. So on that note, consider creating and posting a small compilable and runnable program, one that requires no outside resources, one that we can compile and run unmodified on our computers with our Java compiler, that is small enough to be easy to read and understand quickly, and one that demonstrates your problem, in essence, an SSCCE.

Thank you!
hear after i will fallow your instructions sir,

But! in my simple program, i unable to printing the components from the fallowing code that's why i need your help,

can you guide me please..,
Thank you..,

You're ignoring an important exception above. I would suggest you don't do this. Also, please try to make your SSCCE shorter, and without NetBean's derived code.

[Fubarable]

Your code also looks different from the tutorials, in particular where you call panll.paint(gx); You should be calling something else. Please check this link to see what: Printing the Contents of a User Interface (The Java™ Tutorials > 2D Graphics > Printing)

Sorry for my mistake!
AND Thanks to give a way by your link sir..,

[raj.mscking@gmail.com]

Happy To Meet You!
I try with that tutorial it is so helpful , and now try it by using PrintUtilities class for simplify Printing the Components sir..,

the code for PrintUtilities class is

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.print.*;

public class PrintUtilities implements Printable {
 private Component componentToBePrinted;

 public static void printComponent(Component c) {
   new PrintUtilities(c).print();
 }
 
 public PrintUtilities(Component componentToBePrinted) {
   this.componentToBePrinted = componentToBePrinted;
 }
 
 public void print() {
   PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
   printJob.setPrintable(this);
   if (printJob.printDialog())
     try {
       printJob.print();
     } catch(PrinterException pe) {
       System.out.println("Error printing: " + pe);
     }
 }

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

 public static void disableDoubleBuffering(Component c) {
   RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(c);
   currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
 }

 public static void enableDoubleBuffering(Component c) {
   RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(c);
   currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(true);
 }
}

Now it is enough to pass it

PrintUtilities.printComponent(panll);

as i said i am new for this section, by your guide i learn the basics. But now also i face the same.,

I NEED your help now..,
it prints the panel only, what i have to do to print the JLabel which are placed on that JPanel sir..,
I am waiting For your response please..,

Thank you..,

[Fubarable]

You're making the same mistake that I pointed out earlier. Again the tutorials tell you not to use paint(...). Please re-read to see what they recommend.

[raj.mscking@gmail.com]

Thank You sir!
I will try with print(...)

[Fubarable]

Please look again at the tutorial link I've given you above, especially the last two lines where it talks about the printAll(Graphics g) method.
