Hi John!
You will find an explanation of printing in java on the page
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2001/jw-0302-print_p.html
(and the 4 articles before). The author construct a nice framework
to make printing easier. My tip read the article, correct the code (I
think there are some bugs i.e. the PFUnit.add-method) and are
happy about the time you save by using the framework.
Hope this is useful for you
Niels
