I need to print a JTextArea and a JTable on the same page.

I am trying to print a jtable and jtextarea on the same page. I have tried this so far 

private void printButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                            
// TODO add your handling code here:


JTextArea detailArea = new JTextTable();        
JTable detailTable = new JTable();


    int page = 1;
    MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat(detailArea.getText()));
    MessageFormat mf2 = new MessageFormat(Integer.toString(page));
page++;

try

    {
        detailTable.print(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH,mf,mf2);
    }

    catch(PrinterException p)

    {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Printer Exception");
    }    

}

This is a bad solution as it prints the text of the textarea as a bold header. I need a method to print the Jtable with text above it on the same page.

Any help?

Thank you.

The article How to Print Tables may give you some ideas on how to construct your sscce.

  • Use getPrintable() to obtain a Printable from both the JTextArea and JTable; render each sequentially in your own implementation of Printable.

  • Override getPrintable() to decorate your table using the JTextArea content, as shown in TablePrintDemo3.

A java.awt.print.Book, outlined here, may be a useful way to organize your document.
