printing

I have seen every web-site from too may places to mention I have been at this for 3 weeks

System is W7 pro cannon mp560 printer
I have a small app that creates a text file I am trying to read the txt file and print it to the printer. I would rather read the JFormatedTextFields from the app and print these
to the printer but if I can not print a text file the latter is on hold
I have worked with Visual Basic 6 and HTML5 JQuery and can print from these but NOT java
code below is behind a button on a JFrame with Layout(null)
