Printing Issue - Jasper Report

2006-05-12 07:51

Hi ,

 

In our project we are using jasperreports-1.2.0. The requirement in our project is such that the .jrprint file can be used to print on one of the network printer.

To achieve this functionality I have written following code : -

 

public void jasperPrint(PrintJobDTO prJobDto ,String fileName, UserSessionDataDTO argUserSessionDataDTO , String printerCode)

{

try

{

JasperPrint jasperPrint = (JasperPrint)JRLoader.loadObject(fileName);

 

System.out.println( "jasperPrint >>>> "+ jasperPrint.getOrientation());

AttributeSet aset = new HashAttributeSet();

aset.add(new PrinterName(printerCode, null));

PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, aset);

PrintService service = null;

for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++)

{

service =services;

System.out.println( "service >>>> "+ service);

System.out.println( "service.getName() >>>> "+ service.getName() );

break;

}

 

System.out.println("New jasperPrint fileName >> " + fileName );

PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();

printRequestAttributeSet.add(new Copies(prJobDto.getNumberOfCopies()));

printRequestAttributeSet.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);

printRequestAttributeSet.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);

System.out.println("before printer code >> " + printerCode);

 

printRequestAttributeSet.add(

new MediaPrintableArea(

0f,

0f,

11.694f,

8.264f,

MediaPrintableArea.INCH

));

 

System.out.println("MediaPrintableArea>> " +(!printRequestAttributeSet.containsKey(MediaPrintableArea.class)));

 

//PrintServiceAttributeSet printServiceAttributeSet = new HashPrintServiceAttributeSet();

//printServiceAttributeSet.add(new PrinterName(printerCode, null));

//System.out.println("after printer code " +printerCode );

 

JRPrintServiceExporter exporter = new JRPrintServiceExporter();

exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.INPUT_FILE_NAME, fileName);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE, service);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE_SET, printRequestAttributeSet);

//exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE_ATTRIBUTE_SET, printServiceAttributeSet);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PAGE_DIALOG, Boolean.FALSE);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PRINT_DIALOG, Boolean.FALSE);

 

exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);

//exporter.exportReport();

System.out.println("Printing END>> " );

}

catch(JRException e)

{

System.out.println( "JRException >>>> "+ e.getMessage());

}

catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

 

}

 

 

But the print out using this method is not proper .It seems to truncate all the text even though the Text fields are set to stretch , the page size and page orientation of the print out is also not correct.

 

 

Please guide me in resolving this issue.

 

Any suggestions and views are welcome.

 

Many Thanks...
