Question: I use printing of Swing components. It is slow... Can I increase the speed?

Answer: Yes, you can. Turn Double buffering off. Although this feature increasing graphical performance and set on by default, it adds unnecessary job for your printer...

RepaintManager.currentManager(this).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);

Probably you can restore it after printing is over.

Question: I am trying by one statement to change the font for all Swing components that are on JFrame:
myFrame.getContentPane().setFont( sysfont );
But it does not help...

Answer: Untill you define your own look and feel style there is no way to do it with command...
Try to do it by using UIManager, smth like this (for labels, for example):

UIManager.put("Label.font",new Font("Arial",Font.ITALIC,10));

The line above will change font on all labels. You can do it with other components. Just remember that some components can have another keyname, not like "component.font"...
