Hello all,

I am trying to print the content (Text) of the JEditorPane using Java 1.4
API
In order to do that, i created the method, similar to what is widely
available in boks and on0line:


public void printText(JEditorPane theCode) throws Exception {
Document d = theCode.getDocument();
String text = d.getText(0, d.getLength());
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY.TEXT_PLAIN;
PrintService printService[] =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, pras);
PrintService defaultService =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();

>>> PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200,
printService, defaultService,
DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY.TEXT_PLAIN , pras);
if (service != null) {
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
PrintJobListener listener = new PrintJobAdapter() {
public void printDataTransferCompleted(PrintJobEvent e) {
System.out.println("Good-bye");
System.exit(0);
}
};

job.addPrintJobListener(listener);
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(text, flavor, das);
job.print(doc, pras);
Thread.sleep(10000);
}
}


I do not want to save the content as a text file. All i want is to print it.
Regardless what kind of flavor i tried to use, i am always getting error
message:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: services must be non-null and non-empty

which points to the line marked >>> PrintService service...

Any idea what is wrong. What kind of Flavor shall it be? Any hint will be
highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vlad
