Printing the data of a JTable without any border

I need to print the data in a JTable without any borders around, I have tried to achieve this by using an empty border for the JTable but still it prints a border around the table.

dataTable = new javax.swing.JTable();     
dataTable.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());
dataTable.setShowHorizontalLines(false); dataTable.setShowVerticalLines(false); 
dataTable.setModel(new javax.swing.table.D开发者_开发问答efaultTableModel( new Object [][] { }, new String [] { "Item ID", "Company Name", "Qty.", "Price", "Total" } )); 
jScrollPane1.setViewportView(dataTable); 
jScrollPane1.setViewportBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder()); 
jScrollPane1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());

---

You can copy the Code from TablePrintable to a own class (MyPrintable) and remove following lines:

    // draw a box around the table
    g2d.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    g2d.drawRect(0, 0, clip.width, hclip.height + clip.height);

And Override the getPrintable-Method in your JTable.

    dataTable = new javax.swing.JTable(){
        @Override
        public Printable getPrintable( PrintMode printMode, MessageFormat headerFormat, MessageFormat footerFormat ) {
            return new MyPrintable( this, printMode, headerFormat, footerFormat );
        }
    };

/**
 * An implementation of <code>Printable</code> for printing
 * <code>JTable</code>s.
 * <p>
 * This implementation spreads table rows naturally in sequence
 * across multiple pages, fitting as many rows as possible per page.
 * The distribution of columns, on the other hand, is controlled by a
 * printing mode parameter passed to the constructor. When
 * <code>JTable.PrintMode.NORMAL</code> is used, the implementation
 * handles columns in a similar manner to how it handles rows, spreading them
 * across multiple pages (in an order consistent with the table's
 * <code>ComponentOrientation</code>).
 * When <code>JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH</code> is given, the implementation
 * scales the output smaller if necessary, to ensure that all columns fit on
 * the page. (Note that width and height are scaled equally, ensuring that the
 * aspect ratio remains the same).
 * <p>
 * The portion of table printed on each page is headed by the
 * appropriate section of the table's <code>JTableHeader</code>.
 * <p>
 * Header and footer text can be added to the output by providing
 * <code>MessageFormat</code> instances to the constructor. The
 * printing code requests Strings from the formats by calling
 * their <code>format</code> method with a single parameter:
 * an <code>Object</code> array containing a single element of type
 * <code>Integer</code>, representing the current page number.
 * <p>
 * There are certain circumstances where this <code>Printable</code>
 * cannot fit items appropriately, resulting in clipped output.
 * These are:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>In any mode, when the header or footer text is too wide to
 *       fit completely in the printable area. The implementation
 *       prints as much of the text as possible starting from the beginning,
 *       as determined by the table's <code>ComponentOrientation</code>.
 *   <li>In any mode, when a row is too tall to fit in the
 *       printable area. The upper most portion of the row
 *       is printed and no lower border is shown.
 *   <li>In <code>JTable.PrintMode.NORMAL</code> when a column
 *       is too wide to fit in the printable area. The center of the
 *       column is printed and no left and right borders are shown.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * It is entirely valid for a developer to wrap this <code>Printable</code>
 * inside another in order to create complex reports and documents. They may
 * even request that different pages be rendered into different sized
 * printable areas. The implementation was designed to handle this by
 * performing most of its calculations on the fly. However, providing different
 * sizes works best when <code>JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH</code> is used, or
 * when only the printable width is changed between pages. This is because when
 * it is printing a set of rows in <code>JTable.PrintMode.NORMAL</code> and the
 * implementation determines a need to distribute columns across pages,
 * it assumes that all of those rows will fit on each subsequent page needed
 * to fit the columns.
 * <p>
 * It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure that the table is not
 * modified in any way after this <code>Printable</code> is created (invalid
 * modifications include changes in: size, renderers, or underlying data).
 * The behavior of this <code>Printable</code> is undefined if the table is
 * changed at any time after creation.
