| JTextPrinter is a Swing (JFC) component for
printing multi-page rich text documents from Java.
JTextPrinter prints the contents of any JTextPane (StyledDocument) including
multiple fonts, sizes, styles, colors, paragraph attributes, embedded graphics
and components. Includes both com.sun.java.swing (Swing
1.0) and javax.swing (Swing 1.1 and Swing 1.1.1) versions and
is for use with JDK 1.1.x (only).
NOTE: JTextPrinter is intended for printing native Java
StyledDocuments (e.g., Stylepad documents). Because JTextPane can
read RTF and HTML, JTextPrinter can also print RTF and HTML documents,
but in practice this capability is severely limited due to problems in
the current Swing support for these formats. Also, JTextPrinter
currently does not work under JDK 1.2 due to limitations in JDK 1.2 support
for JDK 1.1-style printing.
