Question

When the user hits OK in the PrintDialog – This code works

PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
if (pjob.printDialog(aset)) {
   try {
       pjob.print(aset);     
   }

When the user hits OK in the PrintDialog – This code does not work

if (pjob.printDialog()) {
   try {
       pjob.print();     
   }

But with the first one it seems like it never gets in to the print method

 public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int index) throws PrinterException {
    System.out.println("Print\n");
    etc...

The print never gets displayed.

Answer 1

This uses a native printer dialog

if (pjob.printDialog()) {
   try {
      pjob.print();     
}

This one uses a cross platform printer dialog

PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
if (pjob.printDialog(aset)) {
   try {
      pjob.print(aset);     
   }

Where I thought the code was never getting in the print Method was wrong. I was looking in the wrong class to test the code.
