For Printing using Swing I have used following code when I made my project. Just try this In your code:

Frame frame = new Frame(“Text for printing ”);
Toolkit toolkit = frame.getToolkit();
PrintJob job = toolkit.getPrintJob(frame, “Test Printing”, null);
Graphics g = job.getGraphics();
frame.printComponents(g);
g.dispose();
job.end();

It will work to print your frame.

Hi, I don't think that this would be possible using swing components. If you are using java script in your code then that will provide you the method of window.print() which prints the whole page which you are opened that time. Just try to use it. I think it will give you solution. But, in case of the swing, you don't find more solution so just check it. Try to find it in the java books which are specifically provides you the information regarding the swing components.

Hi, you need to use some third party solution such as reports. It will help to print the forms using swing. Just check on the internet which type of reports will help you in this situation. Just try to use it. I know that this would work for you as one of my friend had done this when he was getting the same problem. So, just try to search which report will help you in this situation. I don't know the exact name of report and it is not possible to ask to that friend also. Just tr;y to search it. And make it to use for your purpose.
