All parts of my Printable Swing component doesn't print
- by Jonas
I'm trying to do a printable component (an invoice document). I use JComponent instead of JPanel because I don't want a background. The component has many subcomponents.
The main component implements Printable and has a print-method that is calling printAll(g) so that all subcomponents should be printed. But my subcomponents doesn't print.
What am I missing? Does all subcomponents also has to implement Printable?
