Hi John
I don't think what you're trying to do is possible. Method dispatch is
always done according to the run-time class of the receiver, no matter what
you cast it to. (In other words, all Java methods are virtual, to use C++
parlance.) The exception is for static methods, which are dispatched, well,
statically, but that doesn't help you.
Having said all that, I seem to remember some did post a message here about
using the old PrintJob mechanism successfully. Have you checked the archives
at http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/java2d-interest.html? (Not that the
Search link ever works, and April and May seem to be missing, but you might
find it...)
Cheers,
Pete
