Mark,
Thanks for the information. I downloaded the code, and after a few
minor glitches I got it to compile in NetBeans. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but your code takes an existing PDF file and prints it. I want to
go the other way: take the Java2D rendering commands coming into a
Graphics2D object, and create the corresponding PDF commands. I don't
actually want to "print" anything, but create a new PDF file. I'll
certainly look at your implementation of the print method.
BTW, I couldn't find your presentation at JavaOne 2005. Do you have a url?
Thanks.

This is a follow-up on my questions about GraphicsEnvironment,
GraphicsDevice and GraphicsConfiguration.
Reading the Printing with Printables section of the Programmer's Guide
to the Java 2D API, 1.4 edition, April 24 2001, I find that a Graphics
object is passed to the print method of Printable. Into this Graphics,
aka Graphics2D, I can render any Java2D primitives and higher structures.
Looking for the environmental details of this Graphics2D, I find in the
discussion of javax..print.StreamPrintServiceFactory a reference to the
Service Provider Interface with a broken link. Hunting about, I find
some discussion of SPI in the page on jar files. I can find no other
documentation concerning the provision of print services. Is there any?
Does it discuss issues like setting up the GraphicsDevice,
GraphicsConfiguration and FontRenderContext? Is there an example?

Peter,
We put out a GPL version of our PDF library to render PDF files which
implements Printable and Pageable - details are at
http://www.jpedal.org
One of the reasons for doing this was to provide a detailled example
of extending a JPanel and supporting printing - our talk from JavaOne
2005 was also on the subject and you should be able to download the
slides.
If you look in the class org.jpedal.PdfDecoder, you will find
printable there.
Regards,
MArk
