Printing

Printer, PrinterData and PrintDialog are three main classes related to Printing. Printer descends from Device. You can create a graphical context from it and draw on the graphical context. import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.GC; import org.eclipse.swt.printing.Printer; public class DrawTextToPrint {   public static void main(String[] args) {     Printer printer = new Printer();     if (printer.startJob("Printing . . .")) {       GC gc = new GC(printer);       if (printer.startPage()) {         gc.drawText("Hello, World!", 20, 20);         printer.endPage();       }       gc.dispose();     }     printer.dispose();   } }
