Printing problem, please help :~~~
Hi, i am new to java =[
I am trying to print a text using awt.print in a applet, but I have a problem
the printer doesn't have pages, but one big paper, it is a fiscal printer...
when I send the text to the printer, the printer not only print the text in the paper, but grabs more paper, the size of an A4 paper
I don't want it, i just need that the printer only prints the necessary and stops
because if not, it will loose the position to print the fiscal note again...
Please, help me with this...
the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.net.*;
