Unfortunately, it is very easy to create a custom Look & Feel that will display but not print a JTable. The problem is that the custom Look & Feel can’t produce the JTable headers at the higher printing resolutions required. This problem only occurs if you are using J2TablePrinter headers, which you can confirm by setting tablePrinter.setColumnHeaderPrinting(J2TablePrinter.NO_PAGES) and seeing if you can now print your JTable. Among the custom Look & Feel implementations that are known to have this problem are Kunststoff 2.0 on Windows and the Macintosh Look & Feel on OS X under JDK 1.3.1 (the Aqua Look & Feel on OS X under JDK 1.4.1 is fine).
