从Java打印到Epson PictureMate

Question

I'm to use the Java printing API to print a JPG to an Epson PictureMate photo printer. I want the print to take up the entire page. The image prints but it has an eighth of an inch of unprinted space on right edge. Here's the code I'm using:

public void printImage(File image) throws Exception {
  PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
  aset.add(OrientationRequested.REVERSE_LANDSCAPE);
  aset.add(MediaSizeName.JAPANESE_POSTCARD);
  DocPrintJob printerJob = printService.createPrintJob();       
  FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(image);
  Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.JPEG, null);
  printerJob.print(doc, aset);
  fis.close();
}

I thought the the JAPANESE_POSTCARD size was correct but it seems to small for 4"x6" prints. I also tried setting MediaPrintableArea to 4"x6" but that didn't work either. Any ideas?

I know there is some (potential) internal wrangling of the Paper that goes on after you pass it to the PrintJob , basically it's trying to valid that the paper size and margins can work with the specified printer (from experience).

However, you might to take a read of http://www.jpedal.org/PDFblog/2009/06/java-printing-page-size-problem/ as it might have some ideas on how to over come some of them.

As to how to them apply that back to the PrintService s API is another question ;)
