How to set amount of pages when printing (from[] - to[])

[Haishen]

Hi!

I have a somewhat irritating problem. I´ve implemented Printable on a class that i wish to print, it can print the amount of pages that is interresting by render the graphics with an offset depending on pageIndex in the print() function (in other words I dont implement Pageable).

But how do I set the print range in in the "Print" window that is being shown when you call the myPrinterJob.print();
???

(below is a pic of what I mean)
______________________________________
print X
______________________________________

printer [ (ex Canon BJC) ]

[] print to file

Pages to print:

x All
x pages [1] - [HERE!!!]

[CANCEL] [OK]

Hi Haishen:

I recommend you to research about the printDialog method of PrintJob class. See also the pageDialog method.

Hope it helps.
