Print

Hi, I am Aleksander from Peru and i have a question about how to set the
paper to A4.
I am using VisualAge for Java 3.5 with JDK 1.3

When i send to print, nothing happen, it prints on the same paper where the
printer its setting.
For example, if the printer is setting on Letter, it print on Letter, or it
one is setting on A4 it print on A4.

This is the method:

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {

      // Get a PrinterJob
      java.awt.print.PrinterJob job =
java.awt.print.PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
      // Create a landscape page format
      java.awt.print.PageFormat landscape = job.defaultPage(new
java.awt.print.PageFormat());
      java.awt.print.PageFormat landscape1 = job.defaultPage();
      java.awt.print.Paper pp = landscape.getPaper();
      pp.setSize(841, 522); //A4
      landscape.setPaper(pp);
      landscape.setOrientation(java.awt.print.PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
      // Set up a book
      java.awt.print.Book bk = new java.awt.print.Book();
      bk.append(new PaintCover(), landscape);
      // Pass the book to the PrinterJob
      job.setPageable(bk);
      // Put up the dialog box
      if (job.printDialog()) {
            // Print the job if the user didn't cancel printing
            try { job.print(); }
                  catch (Exception exc) { /* Handle Exception */
                        exc.printStackTrace(System.out);}
      }
}
