You have to get a PrintJob object from the Toolkit, then call
getGraphics on the PrintJob to obtain a Graphic object.

Something like:

    PrintJob myJob = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(this,"whatever",new
Properties());
    Graphics myGraphics = myJob.getGraphics();
    this.printAll(theGraphics);
    myGraphics.dispose();
    myJob.end();


Hope that helps
