swing - How to print a JTable object in the Java application

Question

Question Now once the data is fetched from the database and shown in the JTable object "table" embedded in the scrollPane, how do we create a print job that makes it possible to print the displayed table as such in A3 sized paper ?

My code to fetch the data from the database is shown below:

try 
{
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); 
    Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/newb","root","pass");
    Statement stat=con.createStatement();   
    ResultSet res=stat.executeQuery("select * from table where name = '"+name+"'");
    ResultSetMetaData rsmd = res.getMetaData();
    int colcount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
    Vector columns = new Vector(colcount);
        for(int i=3; i<=colcount; i++)
    {
        columns.add(rsmd.getColumnName(i));
    }
    Vector data = new Vector();
    Vector row;

    // Store row data
    while(res.next())
    {
        row = new Vector(colcount);
        for(int i=3; i<=colcount; i++)
        {
            row.add(res.getString(i));
        }
        data.add(row);
    }
    table = new JTable(data, columns);
    table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
    scrollPane.setViewportView(table);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{       
    System.out.println(ex);
}

I am using vector class to fetch the data from the table. How do we print the data shown in the displayed table to a paper?

just use JTable.print() method. here is an article about sending JTable into printer and another one with more parameters
