I've heard various reports of problems printing in Internet Explorer. As far as I can tell, it is an issue with IE rather than JFreeChart...but I haven't been able to investigate it myself directly, because I don't use Windows.

Also not working in Mozilla

Hi,

printing applet content is also impossible when using Mozilla and the JavaPlugin (1.4 (Win) & 1.3 (linux). Looks like this is an intended behaviour.

You could create the Images on the server, this works perfectly for JFreeReport's demos, just create Jpegs or PNGs in a Servlet and let the browser print images. This way the client can never behave wrong.

Have more fun,
