Re: [JAVA2D] How to set custom paper size using printer jobs
Hi Phil,
I have tried with the followings jres: jre 1.5_12, jre1.6_3, jre 1.6_EA_5. The
printer I am using is Epson LX-300+II. The operating system is windows XP sp2.
I have also tried in UBUNTU. I have set the paper size in the server properties
of the printer, but it takes the size that it considers is best for printing
(A5) instead of the size that I am trying to set.With another program like
wordpad the printer takes the custom paper size I have se in the server
properties of the printer.

Re: [JAVA2D] How to set custom paper size using printer jobs
Right, on windows, the default paper size is based on the default for the printer which is what makes a lot more sense than a hard-coded value. I believe this was fixed a LONG time ago (1.3 ie 1999-2000) -phil.

Re: [JAVA2D] How to set custom paper size using printer jobs
If your printer doesn't support custom paper sizes, then
setting one will just cause the closest supported paper
size to be used.
However there is also a bug specific to the case when the
end user then changes the printer in the print dialog
to one that is not the system default one where we
validate against the original printer, not the selected one.
That's 6359283 PrinterJob.pageDialog() ret. incorrect PageFormat when
non-default
printer used. Its only fixed in JDK 7 builds.
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6359283
If neither of the above describe your situation, then
try running the latest JRE : 1.6.0_03 (you didn't mention
this so far as I could see).
If none of that helps you would need to provide a complete small
self-contained test program (not just code snippets), and also
the exact JRE version (output from java -version) and
also the O/S and printer model and driver so we could
look further.

Re: [JAVA2D] How to set custom paper size using printer jobs
Well, I am not an expert on printing issues, so probably it is as difficult for me as it is for you. The code snippets came from a class that I created some time ago and that seemed to work for me. I remember that it took me some time to get it working at all. The original version of this code dates from the time that there was no javax.print package, so before java 1.4. (I never succeeded to get javax.print classes to really work for me). Maybe you should have a look at the complete code and try to find if there are essential differences with your code. Here is the code: http://www.pbjar.org/docs/src/org/pbjar/games/swing/PrintAction.java If you want to see it in action, go to: http://www.pbjar.org/webstartdemo.html and try the Sudoku solver. In the options menu it has the print action. In the code, forget about the I18nInstaller. That is just to get dynamic internationalization, and I don't think that is bothering you at this moment. :) Good luck!

Sorry the code of the Custom class is below:

setImageableArea(36.0, 36.0, 522.99212598425197, 450.8897637795276);

Re: [JAVA2D] How to set custom paper size using printer jobs
Hi,
I am not sure what you are doing wrong. However, a long time ago I experimented
with printing and maybe some code snippets will help you.
private class A4 extends Paper {
public A4() {
super();
setSize(594.992125984252, 841.8897637795276);
setImageableArea(36.0, 36.0, 522.99212598425197, 769.8897637795276);
}
}
and
private PageFormat createFormat() {
PageFormat format = PageFormat();
format.setPaper(new A4());
return format;
}
for me this worked. Hope it helps.
(Sorry for the bad layout, I just don't know how to get that right)
Piet

[JAVA2D] How to set custom paper size using printer jobs
I am trying to set a custom paper size using printer jobs but it does not take
my custom paper size and instead it takes the default paper size. The code I am
using is as follows:
PageFormat pageFormat = job.defaultPage();
Paper paper = new Paper();
paper.setSize(500,500); // Large Address Dimension
paper.setImageableArea(20, 20, 450, 420);
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
pageFormat.setOrientation(PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
try {
job.setPrintable(this,pageFormat);
if (job.printDialog()) {
job.print();
}
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Jan, See: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4833528 It's basically the same problem that you're running into, but unfortunately the bug report doesn't mention the Unix-specific workaround, which is: -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false (Hopefully that should work.)
