Java Printing: printing wrong page range when All selected
Greetings everyone!
I'm working with JPS (Java Printing API http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jps/index.html) and have following issue.
In our application we re-use printerJob object in order to preserve user settings (printer, paper format etc.) by storing it in application scope.
However following scenario provides to incorrect printing behaviour:
1. User selectes in print dialog to print pages range from 2 to 3
2. Pages 2 and 3 are printed
3. User calls Print dialog once more and this time he/she selects All pages to print
4. Only Pages 2 and 3 are printed! However all pages are expected to be printed.
I've tested this issue with JDK 1.5.0_06 and JDK1.6.0.
This issue doesn't appear with JDK 1.4.2_x.
Below is a code of printing functionality (please note that printJob variable is stored in application scope and initialized only once):
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
publicclass T{
static PrinterJob printJob;
publicstaticvoid print(){
// Set working printable to print pages
printJob.setPrintable(new Printable(){
publicint print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat,
int pageIndex)throws PrinterException{
pageIndex++;
if (pageIndex < 10){
System.out.println("Printing page: " + pageIndex);
graphics.drawString("Page #" + pageIndex +" of 9",
(int) pageFormat.getImageableX() + 5,
(int) pageFormat.getImageableY() + 20);
graphics.dispose();
return PAGE_EXISTS;
}else{
return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
}
}
});
// Display Print dialog
if (!printJob.printDialog()){
System.out.println("\tPrinting canceled by user");
return;
}
try{
printJob.print();
}catch (PrinterException e){
}
}
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){
printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
System.out.println(" -=- Starting printing #1 -=-");
print();
System.out.println(" -=- Starting printing #2 -=-");
print();
}
}
Can anyone help me?
Thank you,
Vlad
