JRViewer print button always prints A4 paper

2005-04-22 14:30

I'm trying to solve a bug we have found, where the user clicks the Print button showing in the JRViewer class.

 

When clicked, a print dialog comes up allowing user to select between prints etc, but not allowing user to chooser paper format.

 

Clicking print sends a A4 formated report to our printer which causes our printer to slightly nuts with lots of red blinking lights (:-)

 

Annyhow... any way we can get around this?

 

This is on Windows XP...

 

Here is the trail I've followed:

 

JRViewer -->

JasperPrintManager.printReport(jasperPrint, true); -->

return JRPrinterAWT.printPages(

jasperPrint,

firstPageIndex,

lastPageIndex,

withPrintDialog

); -->

 

PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();

PageFormat pageFormat = printJob.defaultPage();

Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();

...

printJob.print();

 

These last few classes are from java.awt.print package, and I can't find a way to modify these by way of properties....

 

Any help would be greatly apreciated...
