How to print complete JTable along with JFrame?

Question

I'm trying to print a billing receipt in NetBeans.

Billing receipt is getting table data from another table data, Everything is working fine.

Problem is that when I add rows more then the length of JTable it makes a scroll bar and data under scrollbar bar is not printing.

I want to print my complete JTable whether that is in scrollbar or not. Software Should print the complete bill including components of JFrame and Complete JTable. Here is my Code:

package project;

import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.swing.*;

public class reciept extends javax.swing.JPanel implements Printable{
static DateFormat date=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-M-yyyy");

JFrame f=new JFrame();

static SimpleDateFormat time=new SimpleDateFormat("h:m:s a");

static Date d=new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());  
Connection conn;

/**
 * Creates new form reciept
 */
public reciept() {
  initComponents();
  conn=DB.con();       
  cal();
  jTable1.setBackground(Color.white);
  }

 @Override
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int i) throws PrinterException {
    if (i > 0) {
        return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    }
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
    g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
    reciept.this.printAll(g);
    return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}

public void cal(){
    reciept.jTable1.getTableHeader().setFont(new Font("Dialog",Font.PLAIN,7));
    jTable1.setBackground(Color.decode("#FFFFFF"));

 String s=date.format(d);
    String ta=time.format(d);

     t.setText(ta);

    da.setText(s);
    jLabel12.setText(sale.ca);
    String cas=String.valueOf(sale.bill);
    jLabel14.setText(cas);

        tb.setText(sale.b);

     double sum=0;

     for(int i=0; i<jTable1.getRowCount(); i++)
     {

           String d=jTable1.getValueAt(i, 3).toString();
     double d1=Double.parseDouble(d);
    sum+=d1;
     }

     String q1=String.valueOf(sum);

     tq.setText(q1);
     //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try {
    Statement st=conn.createStatement();

    String sql="SELECT billnumber From bill";
    ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery(sql);
    if(rs.next())
    {
    int bill=rs.getInt("billnumber");

    String bnum=String.valueOf(bill);
    bn.setText(bnum);
    bill++;
    st.executeUpdate("UPDATE bill Set billnumber='"+bill+"'");
    }
} catch (Exception ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(reciept.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}

How to print complete JFrame and all rows of JTable?

Do you want to take a Screen shot or how dou do define "print out"? How do you think about using a reporting system like JasperReport or exporting your table data to csv or something? — Maia, Sep 07 '17 at 12:45
In [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/42538618/2180785) I used `iText`, not `PrinterJob` as I think it provides more flexibility. You could take one of the various options I gave there and try to implement it using `PrinterJob` or switch to `iText`. However you could take at [`JTable#printable()`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/printtable.html) (as discussed in the linked answer by @MadProgrammer) however I've never worked with it, so you may do some research. Also, for better help sooner post a proper [mcve] — Frakcool, Sep 07 '17 at 14:25
The "answer" would be to make use of the `JFrame`'s `printAll` method, you can have a look at [this for an example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16728397/print-the-whole-program-layout/16728708#16728708) - but I doubt very much if this is what you really want to do, as the `JTable` may contain more rows then the `JFrame` is showing (and if it's contained in a `JScrollPane`, you have more issues), instead, you should take advantage of `JTable`s print support, [for example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14544013/how-to-print-a-jtable-object-in-the-java-application/14544898#14544898) — MadProgrammer, Sep 07 '17 at 22:01
For more complex reporting, I'd recommend using something like Jasper Reports, have a look at the two answers in [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34086377/printing-a-jpanel-with-scrollable-jtable-on-it/34114959#34114959) for a comparison — MadProgrammer, Sep 07 '17 at 22:03
1) A single blank line of white space in source code is all that is *ever* needed. Blank lines after `{` or before `}` are also typically redundant. 2) Use a logical and consistent form of indenting code lines and blocks. The indentation is intended to make the flow of the code easier to follow! — Andrew Thompson, Sep 07 '17 at 22:58
Maia i dont knw how to take out print i just want to my complete frame. — Numan Pathan, Sep 08 '17 at 05:53
let me explain about... i have a jFrame having some components with free design in netbeans jTable is middle of all components and when i add more rows there. a scrollbar apears and when i runn programe and click at print button it just take screenshot of the frame and print it out. everything is going well as should . but problem is that rows that goes to scrollbar in Jtable are hidden when system take screenshot. this is what i want to resolve... i want that to print Complete JTable along with JFrame — Numan Pathan, Sep 08 '17 at 05:56
my Jtable is getting data from another table by TableModel everything is fine just problem is programe takes screenshot and print that screenshot. this is my problem — Numan Pathan, Sep 08 '17 at 05:58
Tip: add @AndrewThompson (or whoever you're replying to, the @ is important) so they get notified. What you're trying to achieve is kind of "weird" since the JTable is having a JScrollBar so, your GUI in the screenshot might get truncated or painted over by the table if you manage to do it. — Frakcool, Sep 08 '17 at 16:36
Again, rethink your PDF idea, as you can get either the GUI with truncated data or the data using JasperReports (as suggested by @MadProgrammer) / the method I posted which prints the table data along with its properties (border color / font color / etc) — Frakcool, Sep 08 '17 at 16:36
Okey I have solved it with absolute layout in which components are positioned by margin of jtable and jtable is set to height I mean there is no scroll bar — Numan Pathan, Sep 08 '17 at 18:17
@MadProgrammer Because of absolute layout? Last OP's comment was a bit unclear to me (maybe due to me not being a native English speaker or due to him not writing it clearly), so I wanted to understand with code what he was trying to do — Frakcool, Sep 08 '17 at 22:49
