Hello,

My name is Peter Moutsatsos and I am a network programmer for a computer
company in Brisbane Australia.

I am currently working on a Historical Data Stock Graphing Applet and have
been told to include a print option. The applet also happens to be in it's
own floating window, not embedded in a HTML page. I know that you cannot
print from an applet because of the security sandbox, but is there a way at
least for me to be able to bring up the Print Dialog Box Pop-Up on a users
computer and let them choose which printer and hit print.

In other words, since I cannot directly print, can I at least get up to the
Print Dialog box and let the user do the rest.

Thanks for your help.
