I began playing around with the Java Printing API for my side project over the past couple days, and overall it's pretty straight-forward in terms of sending data to the printer. However, setting up how the page displays was a pain. In order to create documents to print from your Java program, the process is the same as painting on a JComponent. It still relies on rendering each element and specifying the pixel positions. My JComponents on my GUI wouldn't neatly fit on a page because of the scrollbar when I used their built-in print() methods, so I had to render the text in a table format manually disregarding the GUI layouts. After much playing around, I finally got the text spaced appropriately and not overlapping.

Also, per popular request, I have gotten my first Java Drag-and-Drop API tutorial up. Link: http://www.dreaminco...r-and-dragging/
