Printing Files in Java

If is not a problem to put the content of the file in a printpreview like window, use this:

somewhere in your class you add

  protected PrintableEditorPane PrintViewer;

and
     PrintViewer = new PrintableEditorPane(file);
     PrintViewer.setEditable(false);

     PrintViewer.printContent();


Of course PrintableEditorPane .... you have to make:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class PrintableEditorPane extends JEditorPane implements Printable{

  public PrintableEditorPane(String file) throws IOException{
    super(file);
  }

  public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex)
                                        throws PrinterException {
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
    g2.setColor(Color.black);
    RepaintManager.currentManager(this).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
    Dimension d = this.getSize();
    double panelWidth  = d.width;
    double panelHeight = d.height;
    double pageHeight = pf.getImageableHeight();
    double pageWidth  = pf.getImageableWidth();
    double scale = pageWidth/panelWidth;
    int totalNumPages = (int)Math.ceil(scale * panelHeight / pageHeight);
    //System.out.println(panelHeight);
    //System.out.println(pageHeight);
    //System.out.println(totalNumPages);
    if(pageIndex >= totalNumPages) {
      sec.util.Disp.printError("No such page(s)!");
      return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    }
    // Shift Graphic to line up with beginning of print-imageable region
    g2.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
    // Shift Graphic to line up with beginning of next page to print
    g2.translate(0f, -pageIndex * pageHeight);
    // Scale the page so the width fits...
    g2.scale(scale, scale);
    this.paint(g2);   //repaint the page for printing
    return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
  }

  public void printContent(){
    PrinterJob pj=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    pj.setPrintable(this);
    pj.printDialog();
    if (pj.printDialog())
      try{
        pj.print();
      } catch (Exception PrintException) {}
  }
}



Thanx for the AAAAAA :)

Seems Like your response is good and I am able to understand the approach, but I dont know why it doesnot work sends out all these socket errors.
