Hi everyone,

I am trying to print the contents of a JTextPane which contains five
pages of styled text and two embedded images. I am using the windows
native page format and print dialog. The entire content of the
JTextPane prints without flaws if i decide to print all the pages. The
thing is i cannot print certain range of pages or a single selected
page. I have been trying this for weeks now and i have
run out of solutions.

Maybe someone can take a look at my code and see what i am doing wrong.

I am listing here a mini test program together with the printable class
so you guys can compile the code and run it and see what i mean

Here is the code

import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.print.*;

JTextPane TextPane1 = new JTextPane();

//The below two command lines creates instances for fonts

SimpleAttributeSet sas = new SimpleAttributeSet();

//The below command line sets up the variable for font updating

MutableAttributeSet mas;

//Then below command line sets the style for the JTextPane document

DefaultStyledDocument dse = new DefaultStyledDocument(sc);
JScrollPane ScrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(TextPane1,
ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,

ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);

//The below command line is the constructor for the rtf editor kit

RTFEditorKit rtfkit = new RTFEditorKit();

I am doing something wrong but i really can't figure out the problem

I really hope someone can help me with this problem

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank You

Yours Sincerely
