Even though JDK 1.5 may have print features, it may not properly split
the pages when the size of the table exceeds the paper size. Also you
may want to add header & footer to the print page, which is not
possible there.

I would suggest to use the free QuickTable java component
(http://quicktable.org) which is an implementation on top of JTable,
which handles all the above issue. QuickTable has simplified printing
by one line methods.

For printing
quiktable.print()

For printpreview (screen shot:
http://quicktable.org/images/printpreview.jpg)
quiktable.printPreview()

To get the printable object
java.awt.print.Printable prn = quicktable.getPrintable(PrintProperties
prop)

If you want to print only few rows from the table, then you need to
first filter the rows and then call quicktable's print method.
