how print without to select a printer in java

Question

I tried to print a JPanel with this code:

try {
    PrinterJob gap = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    gap.setPrintable(this);
    boolean top = gap.printDialog();

    if(top){
        gap.print();

    }

} catch (PrinterException ex) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, " ERROR DEL PROGRAMA", "ERROR \n " + ex , JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}

but, it is appear the menu of configuration for select a printer. I do not want select a printer, I want that it is print from a printer for default or to select the printer in the code.

If you don't want to show the print Dialog then remove 'gap.printDialog()', you only need to use 'gap.print()'

You could do something a little like this:

PrinterJob gap = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = gap.defaultPage();

//Manually assign some of the basic print settings (More advanced things may require you to write your own code)
gap.setJobName("My Print Jnb");

//Set custom page size?
Paper paper = new Paper();
paper.setSize(595, 842);
pf.setPaper(paper);

//Set page orientation?
pf.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);

//Create the print job with our manual settings
gap.setPrintable(this, pf);

try
{
    //And finally print it out
    gap.print();
}
catch (PrinterException e)
{
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, " ERROR DEL PROGRAMA", "ERROR \n " + ex , JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}

Edit: If you want to choose the printer manually then take a look at this question: How do I specify the printer I want to use in Java?
