Printing java applets from firefox?


When I print a webpage with a java applet on it, it prints the webpage, but not the applet. Does anyone know how to print the applet as well?

I don't think you _can_ print applets like that, in Windows, Linux, anything.
Maybe try taking a screenshot of the page and printing that instead?

Actually, in windows, I can print the entire page including the applets simply by using the print button of the browser(firefox). I can also print to file which will create a postscript of the webpage with the applets intact. Other tools in windows such as pdfCreator(acts as print driver) will create a pdf version of the webpage which also keeps the applets intact. But for some reason, none of this works in linux. The applets are always absent when I try to print out to a printer, or print to file in linux.
I need this done programmatically so taking a snapshot of the webpage is not an option for me. There has to be a tool out there for linux that does this, there seems to be an abundant array of tools for windows, but it's so hard to find one for linux.

It's now 2010, and this still seems to be an issue! I've tested it with Firefox, Chrome and Opera, and not one of them is able to print Java applets!
