I have this Navigation bar Java Applet, that does not print correctly from the browsers print command. Is there a workaround for this, for e.g. how do i disable printing of the applet on the webpage, or how do i replace the applet with a static image for printing purposes.

Hi Kulla,
I am not 100% sure about this and can't test it, but Applet has Container as an ancestor, which has a void print(Graphics) method that is used for printing Containers in Java. Try overriding this initially with an empty method to see if it works.

If you just want to remove the applet from the printed page all together you can use javascript in the page to define a print view by inserting the following style tags inside your html head section:
The easiest way to see this in action is to add it to a page and then do a print preview from the file menu.
Note: You may run into browser compatibility issues, I could not find a site that listed exactly wehich browsers supported this.
Using the same method, you could replace the applet with a screenshot by doing somthing similar to this:
Hope thats not to much stuff
Basically what this is going to do is hide the applet and show the picture when in print view, but show the applet and hide the image when in the browser.

Code:
<STYLE MEDIA=print>
APPLET {display: none}
</STYLE>Note: You may run into browser compatibility issues, I could not find a site that listed exactly wehich browsers supported this.

Sorry, NN4 handles styles very badly, as well as just about all the newer things you want to do. Fortunatly use of it is down to a very low percentage now.
