I hope you can help. I'm trying to print a JFrame in java. It doesn't necessarily need to be the whole JFrame, Only a small area where I'll add text and an image. If i can get the JLabel to print that should be a good start. I need it to print when the user performs an action in the text field(action performed) not when a user clicks print like in other code (PrintUIWindow).
I found some code online(PrintUIWindow) which I tried to put into my code with no luck. The code works but i just don't understand where to put it in regards to a jframe.
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page) throws
PrinterException {
if (page > 0) { /* We have only one page, and 'page' is zero-based */
return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
}
/* User (0,0) is typically outside the imageable area, so we must
* translate by the X and Y values in the PageFormat to avoid clipping
*/
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
/* Now print the window and its visible contents */
frameToPrint.printAll(g);
/* tell the caller that this page is part of the printed document */
return PAGE_EXISTS;
}
I would then put the below in the action performed
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPrintable(this);
boolean ok = job.printDialog();
if (ok) {
try {
job.print();
} catch (PrinterException ex) {
/* The job did not successfully complete */
}
}
Attached is the bare bones of my code. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with my code.

Hopefully there isn't too much code, let me know if you need more info.
