Body
On some printers, for whatever reason, the printouts are automatically enlarged with what seems to be default settings when printing through the Java JVM (Java 7). This seems to be with older printers, and it's pretty rare, but it is happening with more than one printer model. Also upgrading the drivers doesn't resolve the issue. The software uses the JFreeReport (classic engine) library, and when using the library to export as a PDF, everything is great. As well the Print Preview using the library is perfect. However when it comes to printing, and this is only with a very very small number of printers, the printouts are enlarged. They aren't zoomed in, but the fonts are much much bigger and improperly spaced so that they overlap over each others. These same printers with JDK 6 seem to work fine. Seem, I'm still trying to isolate the issue. My thinking is that possibly these printers do not correctly support Java 7 Update: I found <a href="http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/540774/problems-printing-hp-8500-pro-plus-a910" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this thread which seems to indicate that there are some issues with JDK 7u21</a>. I didn't see anything in the release notes to address this. In addition here is <a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53652" rel="nofollow noreferrer">another example of the a similar bug report</a>. Update2: For anyone interested, I wrote a blog post called <a href="https://www.followsteph.com/2013/06/21/printing-is-broken-on-mac-os-x-with-java-7/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Printing is Broken on Mac OS X with Java 7</a> about this issue which contains more details and what I discovered.

1. COFor now I'm creating a temporary file and then calling "lp tempFile.pdf" but this isn't ideal because it assumes the default printer is the correct one. There has to be a solution. I can't believe that Oracle and Apple have left this major glaring bug for months. This is something critical for a lot of applications!!!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
