This is soooooooo confusing. I'm using 1.3 in an application that makes use
of a small number of Java 2D APIs(dashed lines and fill patterns are
examples). I can't seem to find any definitive explanation of which print
API to use. Should I use Toolkit.getPrintJob or PrinterJob.getPrinterJob? If
I use the latter, how can I determine the settings selected by a user with
the print dialog's Properties dialog(the one shown when a user clicks on the
"Properties" button within the initial print dialog)? Also, isn't the
Toolkit.getPrintJob the only one that offers a cross-platform print dialog?
The dialog you get from PrinterJob.printDialog looks a little "clunky" on
Unix compared to the one you get from Toolkit.getPrintJob.
I would appreciate a definitive explanation of what I "should" be using.
Thanks,
John
