09:45 pm - n5iln - Printing simple text files? I'm beginning a (hopefully) simple project which requires the ability to print an internally-generated text file from inside the app. The goal is to make the app 100% platform-independent, which is why I'm writing it in Java...less headaches as far as memory allocation, byte ordering, OS look-and-feel and so forth. Write once, deploy many times, that's the lofty target.The question I need to put to the community: has the javax.print API changed significantly in either J2SE 5.0 or 6.0? Or can I toss together a simple select-and-print subwindow and expect it to work the same way it did in 1.4.2? And is the javax.print API what I should be using, or is there something more efficient that I'm overlooking in the docs?
