    Default Printing JFrame

    Hello.
    I have a problem to print my JFrame, i've read the tutorials A Basic Printing Program (The Java™ Tutorials > 2D Graphics > Printing)
    But i stil dont get it.

    When printing I get a new jframe,with a different look and like. Guess it has to do with new gui(), but "job.setPrintable(new gui(), pf)" won't take this as parameter?.


    Heres my code:

    public class gui extends JFrame implements Printable{
    ...
    ...
    ...
    	public gui(){
    	...
    	...
     
    		printAction.addActionListener( 
    				new ActionListener(){
    					public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){ 
     
    						PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    						PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    						PageFormat pf = job.pageDialog(aset);
    						job.setPrintable(new gui(), pf);
    						boolean ok = job.printDialog(aset);
    						if (ok) {
    							try {
    								 job.print(aset);
    							} catch (PrinterException ex) {
    							 /* The job did not successfully complete */
    							}
    						}
    					}
    				}
    		);
     
    		public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page) throws PrinterException{
     
    			if (page > 0) {
    				return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    			}
     
    			Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
    			g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
     
    			// Print the entire visible contents of a
    			// java.awt.Frame.
    			this.printAll(g);
     
    			return PAGE_EXISTS;
    		}
     
    	}
    }

    Sens.

    won't take this as parameter?.
    I was referring to the above.

    Why are you creating a new gui object instead of using an existing one?

    "The method setPrintable(Printable, PageFormat) in the type PrinterJob is not applicable for the arguments (new ActionListener(){}, PageFormat)"

    You need to refer to the gui class object, not the ActionListener object that is the inner class.
    Something like: gui.this
