Re: problems with printing: fop-0.91
I finally had a chance to look at this. Turns out that it works fine if you print directly, for example, using -print from the command-line. If you print from the preview dialog, however, the page size is not correct and therefore content gets swallowed. We'll have to find out why the Preview window does something different than the rest of the code.

RE: problems with printing: fop-0.91
Sorry, I am pretty new to this stuff (just started looking at it
yesterday).
Not sure exactly what output renderer I am using at this point, but I
believe I am using the following renderer (that is what I saw in the
debugger):
application/X-fop-awt-preview
and once the awt preview is opened then I click on the print button
which calls back into the AWTRenderer (which implements pageable) and
that is what is failing to print correctly.
Also, are you saying there is another way to print via FOP with a PDF
file or are you just saying open up a PDF file in Acrobat Reader and
print it?
Thanks,
Tim.

Tim,
you didn't say which renderer (output format) you used for your attempts
at printing. If you used PCL that renderer is non functional in the FOP
0.91 release (that's why it is in the sandbox area). See also
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/status.html.
Your best option is probably to go via PDF and print the PDF file.
Actually the very best option is if you could find the time to fix the
PCL
renderer :-).

I have tried printing several of the examples given and so far have
been
unable to get anything to print out correctly. The specific example
fo
files that I have tried are:
./examples/embedding/xml/fo/helloworld.fo (a blank page gets printed)
./examples/embedding/xml/xml/projectteam.xml (the title, and the first
have of the left column gets cup off)
./examples/fo/basic/pdfoutline.fo (last 8 to 9 lines of each page do
not
get printed though seems)
I tried a few others and they had similar problems. I tried both
going
directly to a printer and also to the program PDFCreator (acts as a
printer driver) and got exactly the same results. Though, if I
generate
a PDF from the fo files and print it from Acrobat then it prints out
just fine (also tried printing a PDF file generated from a fo using
PDFBox but had no such luck). Also, when viewing any of the files
using
the ExampleAWTViewer they all look fine just when I go to print to
either a printer or the PDFCreator do I see issues. I am currently
using windows XP and am using JDK 1.5.0_05. Any ideas or suggestions
on
how I can print and get something to print correctly? Is anyone else
seeing these issues?
Thanks,
Tim.
