Users need to print the forms that they are viewing once in a while.
Anyone done this already. I searched the mailing list archive and
Google for printing or capturing an image of a JFrame. I came up with
these links.
Java Technology Forums - How to print JFrame with its title bar and border?

How do I print a JTable?
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=1251266
The 1st link looks the most promising. It says to use java.awt.Robot
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html) to
capture a BufferedImage. Once the BufferedImage is captured, I'm sure
it can be turned into a PNG and sent to the user or even a PDF as the
second link describes.
Would this functionality need to be packaged up as a ULC extension?
cheers,
Cameron
