Hi,
I'm using PrintJob Class to print and I have the problem that the
files the program build in the spooler printer are too big ( 2MB/page A4), I
think the problem could be in the font that I'm using but I don't know why
because I'm using "Courier New". I do:

PrintJob pg = new PrintJob(...);
Font fon = new Font("courier new", Font.PLAIN, 12);
Graphics gra = pg.getGraphics();
gra.setFont(fon);

gra.drawString("vvvvvvvvvv",10,10);
.....

I don't know if somebody have a the same experience printing with java
and if I'm doing something wrong in this code,

Thanks in advance!!
Salvador Huertas.

Which jdk are you using?

I'm using a old JDK java 1.3. It's this the reason of the problem?. I'm
thinking update my JBuilder. Any Ideas?

Many thanks in advance!!

Could be.I am not sure if there were any major bugs in Print services in
1.3.

I do know that the optimizations in aspects with 1.5 and 1.6 are vastly
superior to 1.3.

Have you tried running this on 1.5 or 1.6?
