[Opensource] Printing using 2D graphics

[Jeff Johnson]

I have a java app that generates a text string from a users input.  upon 
completing the input, the app displays the text (formatted with the 
appropriate escape codes ( \n ),etc) in a starOffice document, and it 
can be printed from there.  Now I'm trying write the app to insert a 
logo (picture.bmp)  and then the text string  into the document, so that 
the app can print the letter on letterhead..  

After numerous failures, the only recourse seems to be java 2D.  As I 
read the 2d tutorial, it seems that you can insert a graphic and then 
print a text string, but it seems cumbersome, and I have a feeling that 
the text string will have to be formatted to look acceptable. 
 Additionally, with 2D it seems that the user can't have a look like he 
could if it was all displayed in a S/O template(I think).  Does anyone 
have any experience with 2D who would like to offer some advice?  Or is 
there a better method, or better yet, does anyone know if S/O can do it 
and I am just dumb for not seeing it?....J Johnson
