Hi, I have an HTML pag with an applet on it which I would like to print using the browser "print" button. The applet is written in java 1.1.8 so all browsers should be able to view it without an additional plugin. It displays fine on all platforms and versions of browser. But it only prints on unix Netscape 4.*, US version of IE 5.5 on win 2K (and older versions of IE), but not Japanese version of IE 5.5 SP2 (native JRE), and prints fine on win version of Netscape 4.*.

Hi,
I have an HTML pag with an applet on it which I would like to print using the browser "print" button.
The applet is written in java 1.1.8 so all browsers should be able to view it without an additional plugin.
It displays fine on all platforms and versions of browser. But it only prints on unix Netscape 4.*, US version of IE 5.5 on win 2K (and older versions of IE), but not Japanese version of IE 5.5 SP2 (native JRE), and prints fine on win version of Netscape 4.*.
It does however not print on IE 6* and Netscape 6*, neither using native JRE or Sun JVM. Though there is a difference in what they do print. The HTML prints fine and using IE 6* with MS jvm 5.5 some of the applet prints, but not, it seems, the bits drawn using the awt paint methods (e.g.: drawRect() ).
All in all it seems as though printing is fien with all browsers that are "used to" java 1.1.... but this is a long shot.
My applet is just a wrapper around a comercial applet, and I would like to solve this without doing any changes to this commercial applet. My wrapper is has some functions dealing with layout and some minor details.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do?
Best Regards
Frode
