I'm trying to print a "book" of two tables, each table has 3 pages.
Heres the code:

Printable jtp1= jTable1.getPrintable(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH ,
new MessageFormat("jTable1"),null) ;
Printable jtp2= jTable2.getPrintable(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH ,
new MessageFormat("jTable2"),null) ;

PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat portrait = job.defaultPage();
portrait.setOrientation(PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
Book bk = new Book();
bk.append(jtp1, portrait,3);
bk.append(jtp2, portrait,3);
job.setPageable(bk);
if (job.printDialog()) {
try {
job.print();
} catch (Exception exc) {
}
}

Unfortunately it only prints table1 (jtp1).
I've googled like a fool, but i've not found anything relevant to this
problem:
can anybody help me ?

Thank you

The table's getPrintable() will only image the visible part of the
component, anyway. For a multi-page table, consider one of print()
methods of JTable:

<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html>

Alternatively, see "Components Larger Than One Page":

Are you sure of exactly 3 pages? How do you know?

Book is broken, mainly because it hands out the original printable, which means
1. The page indices will be wrong for anything but the first contained Printable
(i.e. your second JTable is trying to print its own pages 3 - 5, which do not
exists).
2. NO_SUCH_PAGE will be returned too early, even if the book itself has still
more pages.

Basically it only works for single-page Printables (which ignore the pageIndex
argument and always return PAGE_EXIST):

Just write your own minimum Printable/Pageable implementation that wraps the
inner Printables properly.
