Hi,

I'm curently working on a project for the KUN and I am having problems
with printing from the apllication. I have the following source.

void print_item_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    Frame printframe = new Frame();
    Properties prop = new Properties();
    PrintJob message;
    Graphics myGraphics;
    String msg_text = "A Java Print test by Bas Passon.";

    message =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(printframe,"test1",prop);
    myGraphics = message.getGraphics();     //(LINE 184!)
    myGraphics.drawString(msg_text,50,100);
    myGraphics.dispose();
    message.end();
  }

When I compile and try to print the Execution log says the following:

AppAccelerator(tm) 1.1.2.018 for Java (JDK 1.1), x86 version.

I just want to printout some text. What am I doing wrong?
