Printing problem!

Hello guys!

I'm trying to both print to printer and at the same time produce an image that I will need later on.
Both must be in good quality.

How ever I created a class (ObjectToPrint) that extends from JPanel and implements Printable.
I override:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
    super.paintComponent(g);
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;

    g2d.setColor(Color.RED);

    g2d.drawString("Hola amigos!", 20, 20);
    g2d.drawString("How are you doing!", 20, 40);
    g2d.drawString("Merry X-mas!", 20, 60);
}

In print I can print it nice with the code below, but when producing the image (at the same time) it is disaster.

public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageNr) throws PrinterException
{
    if(pageNr > 0)
    {
        return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    }

    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)graphics;
    g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());

    //Works fine with good quality
    paintComponent(g2d);

    // Works bad with poor quality
    /*
    int width = (int)Math.round(pageFormat.getImageableWidth()) ;
    int height = (int)Math.round(pageFormat.getImageableHeight());
    offScreenCanvas = new BufferedImage( width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    Graphics2D offScreenG2 = offScreenCanvas.createGraphics();
    paintComponent(offScreenG2);
    g2d.drawImage(offScreenCanvas, 0, 0, main);
    */

    return PAGE_EXISTS;
}
   
FYI I print the printable like:

    final PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    final PageFormat pageFormat = printJob.defaultPage();                   
    objectToPrint = new ObjectToPrint(instance, pageFormat);
    final Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
    paper.setImageableArea(PRINT_MARGIN, PRINT_MARGIN, paper.getWidth(), paper.getHeight());
    pageFormat.setPaper(paper);           
    printJob.setPrintService(printer);
    printJob.setPrintable(objectToPrint, pageFormat);
    //HashPrintRequestAttributeSet set = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    //PrinterResolution pr = new PrinterResolution(300, 300, ResolutionSyntax.DPI);
    //set.add(pr);
    //printJob.print(set);
    printJob.print();
   
If you guys got any idea how to get the image nice too it would be great!
Best reagrds!
