I am trying to send a JTable and a JPanel to the printer in a single print job like this :
PrintRequestAttributeSet attr = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
attr.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
MessageFormat header = new MessageFormat("Page {0}");
Printable p1 = table.getPrintable(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, header, null);
PageFormat pf = new PageFormat();
Printable p2 = new ComponentPrinter().returnIt(jPanel1);
Book book = new Book();
book.append(p1, pf);
book.append(p2, pf);
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
pj.setPageable(book);
if (pj.printDialog(attr)){
try {
pj.print(attr);
} catch (PrinterException ex) {
Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
}
}
My problem is, this only prints the first Printable added to the Book ; in this case, the JTable. If I swap the order and add the panel first, then it only prints the panel. Can someone point out the error ?
The answer lies here.
The Book passes wrong pageIndex to the added Printables. For more information and a solution click on the link.
