Printing tools

[Elizabeth Luckose]

Hi,
I want to print tables which has very large number of columns and rows.
That is, the columns as well as the rows do not fit into a single page.
Is this possible? If so,it would be much appreciated if you give the code.
I want to print each and every cell's value separately
using "Graphics2D.drawString(table.getValueAt(row,col)),
without printing the table's image as such using table.paint(Graphics2D).
Is there any free tools available for printing tables? Can I use
JReport or Elixir, so that I will pass the table reference (or table data)
to these tools and get it printed with some headers.
Please help
Thanks,
Elizabeth

1)
PrinterJob prnJob;
prnJob.printDialog();
will display printdialog where you may choose printing properties (orientation, number of copies). It depends on OS, installed in OS printer driver, your printer/plotter and the size of the paper your printer works with
Usually printers or drivers permit configuration of headers, pages, footnotes, etc., etc.
2)
Why don't you export/write table data to file, import it to MS Excel (or any table editor) and format there?
Generally speaking, I just do not get the problem. Please explain

If the no. of columns in a table is large, it wont fit in a single page even if it is in landscape orientation. I want all the columns printed. There may also rows which spans over multiple pages.
Is there any tools available for printing tables.
Thanks
Elizabeth

Elizabeth,
can you give me any idea how do you want it to be distributed over pages?

Hi
The columns which are not printed in the first page should be printed in the next page
Thanks,
