    Problem with printer

    We have a java application, running on Win XP SP2. It can send a image to be printed. Application gets images from a Canvas. This is the problem: when we send images to any printer, it prints so good. But, if we send the image to a specific printer (HP Laserjet 4100 Series PCL), it sends a huge temporal file to be printed. That makes us many problems and we don't know what is causing the trouble.

    Sorry for my english

    have you check the printer's preference or the page options before you print it?

    I think it was in printDialog() method under the PrinterJob class....

    Correct me if im too far from your point....

      Is that printer a postscript printer? Does the content of that file look like ASCII
      gibberish?

      kind regards,
