I'm using this for the moment to print out my table, and it works. But I'm not really happy with the layout of the messageformatting, I would like to have both pagenumber and date in the footer, and date format aligned to the left side of the table, and page to the right.

How can I do that? Been reading some stuff about overriding the PrintTable method, but seems to get pretty complex from what I've read.

Hope you can help me with this issue, thank you. :)

import javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.OrientationRequested;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import dk.beesys.rims.ui.WindowInventory;


public class Print {

   private static Print INSTANCE;

   public static Print getInstance() {
      if (INSTANCE == null) {
         INSTANCE = new Print();
      }
      return INSTANCE;
   }

private Print(){ }

    public void printList(java.awt.event.ActionEvent ignore) {
       String strDate = MessageFormat.format("{0,date,short} {0,time,short}", new Date());

        MessageFormat header = new MessageFormat("- {0} -"); 
        MessageFormat footer = new MessageFormat("Printed: " + strDate);
        PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        aset.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);

        try {

            WindowInventory.getInstance().getTable().print(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, header, footer, true, aset, true);

        } catch (java.awt.print.PrinterException e) {
            System.err.format("Cannot print %s%n", e.getMessage());
        }
    }
