Printing on Muliple Pages

[brinker]

help!!!

I have spent the last few days trying to print a JTextArea over multiple pages. The code I have worked with seems to print the contents of a JTextArea fine over a single page, but fails to print any further. I have provided this code below. If anybody knows how I can extend it to print over muliple pages (providing there is enough data), please let me know.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/**
* A small program to show how to print the contents of a
* JTextArea.
*/
public class Print extends JFrame implements ActionListener, Printable{
JTextArea textArea;
JScrollPane areaScrollPane;
Book book;
/**
* Constructor. Set up the GUI.
*/
public Print( ){
pack( );
addWindowListener( new CloseWindow( ));
String string = "Line one.\nLine two.\nLine three.";
textArea = new JTextArea( string);
areaScrollPane=new JScrollPane(textArea);
areaScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
areaScrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250,250));
getContentPane().add( areaScrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
JButton button = new JButton( "Print"
button.addActionListener( this);
getContentPane().add( button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
setSize(300,300);
show( );
}
/**
* Called when the user clicks on the print button.
*/
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e){

book= new Book();
book.append(new Print(), new PageFormat());

PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob( );
printJob.setPrintable( this);
printJob.setPageable(book);

if (printJob.printDialog()) {
try {
printJob.print( );
}
catch( Exception PrintException){ }
}
}
/**
* This method does the actual work - the printing.
* It uses JTextAreas printAll(Graphics) method. If
* n is "greater or equal to 1" then the requested
* page does not exist. n must be 0 for the page to be
* printed.
* @param g - the context into which the page is
* drawn.
* @param f - the size and orientation of the page
* being drawn.
* @param n - the zero based index of the page to be
* drawn.
*/
public int print( Graphics g, PageFormat f, int n) throws PrinterException{
if( n >= 1) {
return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
}
g.translate( 100, 100);
textArea.printAll( g);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}
/**
* The main method.
*/
public static void main( String s[]){
new Print( );
}
}
/**
* Allow this frame to close.
*/
class CloseWindow extends WindowAdapter{
public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e){
System.exit( 0);
}
}
