If a Component doesn't know how to paint itself, then its going to be pretty tricky getting it to paint on demand to the screen as well as the printer. JPanel is a container. Maybe you didn't get its children painted. Did you try java.awt.Component.printAll(Graphics g) ?

Hi All, I have a special case where there is a library such as JDIC that draws directly to a component. Instead of using the print capabilities of the browser via javascript I want to print what is on the JPanel. I also want to do the same thing for other type of heavyweight components. I noticed if I used createImage(l,w) then direct the output to a BufferedImage it only gives what looks like the background color. I have not seen very many examples where you capture a JPanel or other components where you start with the panel and not a file whose contents load into the panel. Seems like printing will be an issue for JavaFX with this mixing of components heavyweight/lightweight so I am hoping I can get an answer here since quite a few Java2D people worked on JavaFX and printing might have been discussed for the fancy images and other unique visual imagery it was designed to handle. As a last resort I used the awt Robot and that sort of worked but it is a screen capture solution not the type I really want when printing an image that might be bigger than the component.
