But are you thinking that 300 dpi example I cited was some kind of limit. It was just an example. The resolution used will always be what the device is actually configured for and capable of (except on solaris & linux where that information is unavailable to the postscript generator). -phil > Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 19:33:05 -0500 > From: Eric Mak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [JAVA2D] Determining printer resolution > Comments: To: Phil Race <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Hi, all > Is there any methods to increase the Java printing resolution ? e.g. increase to 400 dpi since some printer can support this figure. > Thanks in advance. > > > Phil Race <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Its a little hokey, but you can look at the scale on the graphics passed > >into your print method and multiply it by 72 to get the printer dpi. > > > >eg if scale is 4.17 that's a 300 dpi printer. > >note printers may have different x & y resolutions so the x & y scales > >may be different. > > > >note that an implementation detail is that for every page the sun implementation > >calls print 1st with a 72 dpi (1.0,1.0) scale just to "peek". > > > >subsequent callbacks on that page index will show the true printer resolution. > > > >1.4 has explicit APIs to query the supported device resolutions and even > >to specify which one you want : look at the javax.print package. > > > >BTW I am curious to know why you need to know this. > > > >-phil. > > > >> Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 11:26:33 -0500 > >> From: Karen Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> Subject: [JAVA2D] Determining printer resolution > >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> > >> In jdk1.3, is there any way to determine printer resolution?
