Description zian 2007-10-21 01:33:41 UTC 
Even with word wrapping enabled, when I print code, the printout uses 2 8.5x11 pages horizontally.

For example, attempting to print the following Java comment will take 2 pages:
	// isBlackTurn() returns true if it's the black player's turn, false
	// if it's the white player's turn.

Can't reproduce.
When I check "Wrap Lines", I see only one page.

It looks like we have an inconistent state.

Under Tools | Options -> Advanced Options -> System -> Print Settings, I have "Wrap Lines" checked.

But under print preview, the word wrap checkbox is unchecked.
Comment 4 Vladimir Yaroslavskiy 2007-10-23 11:50:57 UTC 
Tools | Options -> Advanced Options -> System -> Print Settings
is used by org.openide.actions.PrintAction (if NetBeans version != full).

Full version of NetBeans has PrintAction from org.netbeans.modules.print module.
This action opens Print Preview dialog and has own options in separate dialog.
It doesn't use Tools | Options -> ... Print Settings.

Looks like a UI issue, then. Right now, it's too easy to get confused because the user has to know about NetBeans's 
logic for handling such settings.
