Printing in java

[rohithere]

Hi
My application is created in swing.There is one report where there are many values displayed in one page only(earlier the values were broken into various pages eg: 1.1,1.2,2.1,2.2 etc.I displayed it again in one page only done this way because breaking it to next page missed some values).Now while printing I want to give the user the facility to print which part(page) he wants to print.
Also while printing the whole page is not printed only the 1st part(page) is printed.

Help needed URGENTLY.

Thanxin advance.

As far as I know, using the Graphics2D object to print your view means that you can print the current viewable area of the screen (of the graphics device) so if you need to print parts that are not viewable (ie off the screen) then you need to bring those areas into "view" ...

Try the setViewPort method or setScrollBar - you'll have to play around with it.
