Problem Printing

[denni2727]

Well, my problem is that i have to print some text in a dot matrix printer with a 8.5in width x 6.5in height page.

At first, I change the paper size of the printer in the server properties from windows and it fixed the problem but now i need to print some piece of text at the beginning of the paper but i cant beause the program use some kind of margin.

I Used the following code:

public Printer(Receipt receipt )
	{

		this.receipt = receipt;
		Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable(){

			@Override
			public void run() {
				try {
					PrinterJob printer = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
					printer.setPrintService(getPrintService("EPSON LQ-590 ESC/P 2"));
					
					PageFormat format = printer.defaultPage();
					Paper p = format.getPaper();
					p.setImageableArea(0, 0, p.getWidth(), p.getHeight()); // Set Margin to 0.
					p.setSize(p.getWidth(), p.getHeight());
					System.out.println("Width: " + p.getWidth() + " Height: " + p.getHeight()); //Printing in console the width and height before printing.!!
					format.setPaper(p);
					
					printer.setPrintable(Printer.this, format);
					format.setPaper(p);
					printer.print();
				} catch (PrinterException e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
				
			}});
		t.start();
			
	}


public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int pageIndex)
			throws PrinterException {
			
		if(pageIndex > 0) return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
		/*  This is commented because I was testing the printer
		Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
		
		byte diasVencimiento = 120;
		if(recibo.getClase() == 'C') diasVencimiento = 60;
		
		DecimalFormat d;
		d = new DecimalFormat("#,###.00");
		Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
		c.setTime(recibo.getFecha());
		String cedula = Herramientas.getCedulaFormat(recibo.getCedula());
		g2d.translate(15,3);

		//             Left Side
		
		g2d.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.PLAIN, 10));

		g2d.drawString(c.get(Calendar.YEAR) + "", 232, 262);

		*/
		System.out.println("Width2: " + format.getWidth() + " Height: " + format.getHeight()); Here Im Printing the width and height of the Paper when Printing.
		//g.drawLine(0, 85, 900, 85);
		return PAGE_EXISTS;
	}

And This is the output:

Width: 655.2 Height: 464.4 --> Before Printing
Width2: 419.5275590551181 Height: 595.275590551181 -->When printing
Width2: 419.5275590551181 Height: 595.275590551181 --> This ppears twice, but it is printed once so I dont know why this appears twice.

Any help will be appreciated.
