I need to to some printing from my Java Swing application. I have tried to use Java Tutorials, but everything is very low level, and time-consuming. I have to specify the coordinates for every line that I want to print. It it also very lowlevel to use text, because I have to use FontMetrics and calculate what space all text fills up.
Is there any easier way to to printing in Java? I would like to design the documents with something like layout managers instead. Any good library or API?
