Here is an example to print any Swing component.

public void printComponenet(Component component){
  PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
  pj.setJobName(" Print Component ");

  pj.setPrintable (new Printable() {    
    public int print(Graphics pg, PageFormat pf, int pageNum){
      if (pageNum > 0){
      return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
      }

      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) pg;
      g2.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
      component.paint(g2);
      return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
    }
  });
  if (pj.printDialog() == false)
  return;

  try {
        pj.print();
  } catch (PrinterException ex) {
        // handle exception
  }
}

A simple way to do it would be implementing 10 the Printable interface (in java.awt.print) and adding the specified 9 print method (it works similar to paint—in here, you 8 could specify what components you would 7 want to draw onto the printed page). And 6 when you want to actually print the contents 5 of the panel, obtain a PrinterJob instance and call 4 its setPrintable method, passing the object that implemented 3 Printable.

That's just a quick overview, though. I'd 2 recommend taking a look at Sun's tutorial on printing for further 1 information.

just edit and put the name of your frame, panel(jPanel1) and 4 button(print). 'this' refers to the JFrame 3 class(i.e my class extends javax.swing.JFrame 2 ) just put your frame's reference instead 1 of 'this'.

private void PritnActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
    // TODO add your handling code here:
    Toolkit tkp = jPanel1.getToolkit();
    PrintJob pjp = tkp.getPrintJob(this, null, null);
    Graphics g = pjp.getGraphics();
    jPanel1.print(g);
    g.dispose();
    pjp.end();
}
