  1. POHow to correctly print out a hard copy of a JTextPane with "text/rtf" content?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to print out some simple RTF-formatted text to a <strong>laser printer</strong> using a <code>JTextPane</code>.</p> <p>The result looks fine on a software PDF printer (FreePDF XP), but the text doesn't have proper space between it's formatted parts when print to a real printer.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I have uploaded an example output (The bottom is the scanned printout)</p> <p><a href="http://ompldr.org/vNXo4Zg/output.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Example http://ompldr.org/vNXo4Zg/output.png</a></p> <p>It seems to me that there is a problem with the Graphics object starting to paint the indiviual parts of the RTF code. As if it couldn't figure out where to correctly put each part (the X coordinate).</p> <p>Do I have to provide some kind of coordinate system translation?</p> <p>The simple test code used:</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.awt.print.PageFormat; import java.awt.print.Printable; import java.awt.print.PrinterException; import java.awt.print.PrinterJob; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JTextPane; class MyTextComp extends JTextPane implements Printable { public MyTextComp() { setContentType("text/rtf"); setText("{\\rtf1 HelloWorld! \\par {\\i This} is formatted {\\b Text}.}"); } public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); } public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pIndex) { if(pIndex &gt; 0) return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE; Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g; g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY()); /* Now print the window and its visible contents */ printAll(g); return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS; } } public class TextCompPrint extends JFrame { public static void main(String[] args) throws PrinterException { TextCompPrint myFrame = new TextCompPrint(); MyTextComp myComp = new MyTextComp(); myFrame.add(myComp, BorderLayout.CENTER); myFrame.setSize(200, 200); myFrame.setVisible(true); PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); pj.setPrintable(myComp); pj.print(); } } </code></pre>
