pjob.setPrintable(this,pf); - 'this' (printtest.Button1Handler) is not
a Printable as spesified by PrinterJob ...

I'm assuming this is an innerclass in a gui class (extendsing
java.awt.Component), you need something like this:

   class Button1Handler implements ActionListener {

       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
           PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
           final PageFormat pf = pjob.defaultPage();
           pjob.setPrintable(new Printable() {
               public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int
pageIndex) {
                   if (pageIndex > 0) {
                       return (NO_SUCH_PAGE);
                   } else {
                       Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
                       g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(),
pageFormat.getImageableY());
                       // Turn off double buffering
                       componentToBePrinted.paint(g2d);
                       // Turn double buffering back on
                       return (PAGE_EXISTS);
                   }
               }
           }, pf);

           try {
               if (pjob.printDialog()) {
                   pjob.print();
               }
           } catch (PrinterException s) {
           }
       }
   }

But as said, I'm making assumptions here, so no idea if this will solve
your problem.

well,

Thanks for your reply. I'll explain a little bit more what I;m trying to do.
I'm drawing a graphic on a panel. I want to print that graphic.

But I;m going to get crazy in here. nothing works :(:(:(

   The method "setPrintable" expects as its first argument, a Printable,
and, as its second method, a PageFormat. Your second format is a PageFormat
so that's okay, but your first argument is a Button1Handler, not a
Printable. That's what the compiler is complaining about.

   You could make Button1Handler implement Printable, but I get the feeling
that you actually meant to pass in something other than "this".
