I'm trying to print out some simple RTF-formatted text to a laser printer using a JTextPane.
The result looks fine on a software PDF printer (FreePDF XP), but the text doesn't have proper space between it's formatted parts when print to a real printer.
Edit: I have uploaded an example output (The bottom is the scanned printout)
Example http://ompldr.org/vNXo4Zg/output.png
It seems to me that there is a problem with the Graphics object starting to paint the indiviual parts of the RTF code. As if it couldn't figure out where to correctly put each part (the X coordinate).
Do I have to provide some kind of coordinate system translation?
The simple test code used:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
class MyTextComp extends JTextPane implements Printable
{
public MyTextComp()
{
setContentType("text/rtf");
setText("{\\rtf1 HelloWorld! \\par {\\i This} is formatted {\\b Text}.}");
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
}
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pIndex)
{
if(pIndex > 0)
return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
/* Now print the window and its visible contents */
printAll(g);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}
}
public class TextCompPrint extends JFrame
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws PrinterException
{
TextCompPrint myFrame = new TextCompPrint();
MyTextComp myComp = new MyTextComp();
myFrame.add(myComp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
myFrame.setSize(200, 200);
myFrame.setVisible(true);
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
pj.setPrintable(myComp);
pj.print();
}
}
