Hello,

I have a question about printing components in Java, and in particular
printing a JTextArea component. In the example below I am simply trying
to print a single JTextArea component. As you will notice I am sizing
this component to the imageable width and height of the PaperFormat
object and invoking the print(graphics) method. However instead of
painting to the desired width the JTextComponent prints off the
imageable area of the paper and in doing so does not print the "i"'s
between 13-16 on a standard 8x11 portrait size paper.

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here? Thanks in advance.
