Print Word with the Default Printer in Java
Printing Word documents with the default printer is a convenient and straightforward method. This approach is often suitable for regular printing tasks when specific printer settings are not necessary or when users prefer to utilize the default configurations set in their printer.
The following are the steps to print Word documents with the default printer using Spire.Doc for Java and java.awt.print.
- Create a PrinterJob object, and call the methods under it to set up a print job.
- Create a Document object, and load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Render each page of the document in the specified format using PrinterJob.setPrintable() method.
- Call PrinterJob.print() method to print the Word document.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Paper;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
public class PrintWithDefaultPrinter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load a Word file
document.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Input.docx");
// Create a PrinterJob object
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
// Create a PageFormat object and set it to the default size and orientation
PageFormat pageFormat = printerJob.defaultPage();
// Return a copy of the Paper object associated with this PageFormat
Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
// Set the imageable area of this Paper
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, pageFormat.getWidth(), pageFormat.getHeight());
// Set the number of copies to be printed
printerJob.setCopies(1);
// Set the Paper object for this PageFormat
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
// Call painter to render the pages in the specified format
printerJob.setPrintable(document, pageFormat);
// Print document
try {
printerJob.print();
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Print Word with a Specified Printer in Java
Printing a Word document with a specified printer in Java allows you to choose a specific printer device to handle the printing task. This approach can be useful in scenarios where you have multiple printers available and want to direct the print output to a specific one.
The following are the steps to print Word documents with a specified printer using Spire.Doc for Java and java.awt.print.
- Create a PrinterJob object, and call the methods under it to set up a print job.
- Find the print service by the printer name using the custom method findPrintService().
- Apply the print service using PrinterJob.setPrintService() method.
- Create a Document object, and load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Render each page of the document in the specified format using PrinterJob.setPrintable() method.
- Call PrinterJob.print() method to print the Word document.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import javax.print.PrintService;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Paper;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
public class PrintWithSpecifiedPrinter {
public static void main(String[] args) throws PrinterException {
// Create a PrinterJob object which is initially associated with the default printer
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
// Specify printer name
PrintService myPrintService = findPrintService("\\\\192.168.1.104\\HP LaserJet P1007");
printerJob.setPrintService(myPrintService);
// Create a PageFormat instance and set it to a default size and orientation
PageFormat pageFormat = printerJob.defaultPage();
// Return a copy of the Paper object associated with this PageFormat.
Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
// Set the imageable area of this Paper.
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, pageFormat.getWidth(), pageFormat.getHeight());
// Set the Paper object for this PageFormat.
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
// Create a Document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load a Word file
document.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Input.docx");
// Call painter to render the pages in the specified format
printerJob.setPrintable(document, pageFormat);
// Print document
try {
printerJob.print();
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// Find print service
private static PrintService findPrintService(String printerName) {
PrintService[] printServices = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
for (PrintService printService : printServices) {
if (printService.getName().equals(printerName)) {
return printService;
}
}
return null;
}
}
Print Word with a Print Dialog Box in Java
Printing a Word document with a print dialog box enables users to select a printer and customize print settings before initiating the process. By presenting a print dialog box, you provide users with flexibility and control over the printing operation.
To print Word document with a print dialog box in Java, follow these step:
- Create a PrinterJob object, and call methods under it to set up a print job.
- Create a Document object, and load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Render each page of the document in the specified format using PrinterJob.setPrintable() method.
- Call PrinterJob.printDialog() method to display print dialog.
- Call PrinterJob.print() method to print the Word document.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Paper;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
public class PrintWithDialogBox {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a PrinterJob object which is initially associated with the default printer
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
// Create a PageFormat object and set it to a default size and orientation
PageFormat pageFormat = printerJob.defaultPage();
// Return a copy of the Paper object associated with this PageFormat
Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
// Set the imageable area of this Paper
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, pageFormat.getWidth(), pageFormat.getHeight());
// Set the Paper object for this PageFormat
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
// Create a Document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load a Word file
document.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Math.docx");
// Call painter to render the pages in the specified format
printerJob.setPrintable(document, pageFormat);
// Display the print dialog
if (printerJob.printDialog()) {
try {
// Print document
printerJob.print();
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
Print a Range of Pages in Word in Java
Printing a range of pages in Microsoft Word is a useful feature that allows you to select specific pages from a document and print only those pages, rather than printing the entire document. This can be particularly handy when you're working with lengthy documents or when you only need to print a specific section.
The steps to set print range while printing Word documents in Java are as follows.
- Create a PrinterJob object, and call the methods under it to set up a print job.
- Create a Document object, and load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Render each page of the document in the specified format using PrinterJob.setPrintable() method.
- Create a PrintRequestAttributeSet object, and add the print range to the attribute set.
- Call PrinterJob.print() method to print the range of pages.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.PageRanges;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Paper;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
public class PrintPageRange {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load a Word file
document.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Input.docx");
// Create a PrinterJob object
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
// Create a PageFormat object and set it to the default size and orientation
PageFormat pageFormat = printerJob.defaultPage();
// Return a copy of the Paper object associated with this PageFormat
Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
// Set the imageable area of this Paper
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, pageFormat.getWidth(), pageFormat.getHeight());
// Set the number of copies
printerJob.setCopies(1);
// Set the Paper object for this PageFormat
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
// Call painter to render the pages in the specified format
printerJob.setPrintable(document, pageFormat);
// Create a PrintRequestAttributeSet object
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
// Set print range
attributeSet.add(new PageRanges(1,5));
// Print document
try {
printerJob.print(attributeSet);
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Print Word in Duplex Mode in Java
Duplex printing, also known as two-sided printing, allows you to print on both sides of a sheet of paper automatically, which can be beneficial for lengthy reports, presentations, or handouts.
The steps to print Word documents in duplex mode in Java are as follows.
- Create a PrinterJob object, and call the methods under it to set up a print job.
- Create a Document object, and load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Render each page of the document in the specified format using PrinterJob.setPrintable() method.
- Create a PrintRequestAttributeSet object, and add the two-sided printing mode to the attribute set.
- Call PrinterJob.print() method to print the Word document.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.Sides;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Paper;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
public class PrintInDuplexMode {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load a Word file
document.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Input.docx");
// Create a PrinterJob object which is initially associated with the default printer
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
// Create a PageFormat object and set it to a default size and orientation
PageFormat pageFormat = printerJob.defaultPage();
// Return a copy of the Paper object associated with this PageFormat
Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
// Set the imageable area of this Paper
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, pageFormat.getWidth(), pageFormat.getHeight());
// Set the Paper object for this PageFormat
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
// Call painter to render the pages in the specified format
printerJob.setPrintable(document, pageFormat);
// Create a PrintRequestAttributed object
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
// Enable duplex printing mode
attributeSet.add(Sides.TWO_SIDED_SHORT_EDGE);
// Print document
try {
printerJob.print(attributeSet);
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Headers are text or pictures on the top of pages in Word documents while footers are at the bottom. People usually use headers and footers to display some important information about documents, such as copyright, author information, and page numbers or just to make the document more good-looking and professional. They can be inserted into a Word document on every page, only on the first page, or differently on odd pages and even pages. This article will show how to insert headers and footers into Word documents programmatically using Spire.Doc for Java.
- Insert Headers and Footers into a Word Document
- Insert a Header and a Footer Only into the First Page of a Word Document
- Insert Different Headers and Footers into Odd Pages and Even Pages
Install Spire.Doc for Java
First of all, you're required to add the Spire.Doc.jar file as a dependency in your Java program. The JAR file can be downloaded from this link. If you use Maven, you can easily import the JAR file in your application by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Insert Headers and Footers into a Word Document
To insert a header or a footer into a Word document using Spire.Doc for Java, you need to use Section.getHeadersFooters().getHeader() and Section.getHeadersFooters().getFooter() methods to get them and then add paragraphs to them to insert pictures, text, or page number fields.
The detailed steps for inserting headers and footers are as follows:
- Create an instance of Document class.
- Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFIle() method.
- Get the first section using Document.getSections().get() method.
- Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooter() to insert a header and a footer into the section.
- Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.TextRange;
public class insertHeaderAndFooter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a Document class instance
Document document = new Document();
//Load a Word document
document.loadFromFile("We Are Interwoven Beings.docx");
//Get the first section
Section section = document.getSections().get(0);
//Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooter() to insert headers and footers to the section
insertHeaderAndFooter(section);
//Save the document
document.saveToFile("HeaderAndFooter.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
private static void insertHeaderAndFooter(Section section) {
//Get header and footer from a section
HeaderFooter header = section.getHeadersFooters().getHeader();
HeaderFooter footer = section.getHeadersFooters().getFooter();
//Add a paragraph to the header
Paragraph headerParagraph = header.addParagraph();
//Add text to the header paragraph
TextRange text = headerParagraph.appendText("Philosophy\rWe Are Interwoven Beings");
text.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
text.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(12);
text.getCharacterFormat().setItalic(true);
headerParagraph.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
//Set the bottom border style of the header paragraph
headerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setBorderType(BorderStyle.Single);
headerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setLineWidth(1f);
//Add a paragraph to the footer
Paragraph footerParagraph = footer.addParagraph();
//Add Field_Page and Field_Num_Pages fields to the footer paragraph
footerParagraph.appendField("Page Number", FieldType.Field_Page);
footerParagraph.appendText(" of ");
footerParagraph.appendField("Number of Pages", FieldType.Field_Num_Pages);
footerParagraph.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
//Set the top border style of the footer paragraph
footerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getTop().setBorderType(BorderStyle.Single);
footerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getTop().setLineWidth(1f);
}
}
Insert a Header and a Footer Only into the First Page of a Word Document
Sometimes we only need to insert a header and a footer into the first page, which can be realized by Spire.Doc for Java as well. We can use Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter() method to make the headers and footers of the first page different from other pages.
The detailed steps for inserting header and footer only into the first page are as follows:
- Create a Document class instance.
- Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Get the first section using Document.getSections().get() method.
- Make the headers and footers of the first page different from other pages using Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter() method.
- Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterFirst() to insert a header and a footer into the first page.
- Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.DocPicture;
import com.spire.doc.fields.TextRange;
import java.awt.*;
public class insertHeaderAndFooter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a Document class instance
Document document = new Document();
//Load a Word document
document.loadFromFile("We Are Interwoven Beings.docx");
//Get the first section
Section section = document.getSections().get(0);
//Make the headers and footers of the first page different from other pages
section.getPageSetup().setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter(true);
//Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterFirst() to insert a header and a footer into the first page
insertHeaderAndFooterFirst(section);
//Save the document
document.saveToFile("FirstPageHeaderAndFooter.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
private static void insertHeaderAndFooterFirst(Section section) {
//Get header and footer of the first page
HeaderFooter header = section.getHeadersFooters().getFirstPageHeader();
HeaderFooter footer = section.getHeadersFooters().getFirstPageFooter();
//Add a paragraph to the header
Paragraph headerParagraph = header.addParagraph();
//Add text to the header paragraph
TextRange text = headerParagraph.appendText("Philosophy");
text.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
text.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(14);
text.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.blue);
text.getCharacterFormat().setItalic(true);
headerParagraph.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Right);
//Insert a picture into the header paragraph and set its position
DocPicture headerPicture = headerParagraph.appendPicture("Header.png");
headerPicture.setHorizontalAlignment(ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Left);
headerPicture.setVerticalOrigin(VerticalOrigin.Top_Margin_Area);
headerPicture.setVerticalAlignment(ShapeVerticalAlignment.Center);
//Set text wrapping style to Behind
headerPicture.setTextWrappingStyle(TextWrappingStyle.Behind);
//Set the bottom border style of the header paragraph
headerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setBorderType(BorderStyle.Single);
headerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setLineWidth(1f);
//Add a paragraph to the footer
Paragraph footerParagraph = footer.addParagraph();
//Add text to the footer paragraph
TextRange text1 = footerParagraph.appendText("We Are Interwoven Beings");
text1.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
text1.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(14);
text1.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
text1.getCharacterFormat().setItalic(true);
footerParagraph.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
//Set the top border style of the footer paragraph
footerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getTop().setBorderType(BorderStyle.Single);
footerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getTop().setLineWidth(1f);
}
}
Insert Different Headers and Footers into Odd Pages and Even Pages
We may also encounter situations where we need to insert different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages. Spire.Doc for Java provides a method Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter(), which can make headers and footers different on odd pages and even pages, to meet such needs.
The detailed steps for inserting different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages are as follows:
- Create an object of Document class.
- Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Get the first section using Document.getSections().get() method.
- Make the headers and footers of odd pages and even pages different using Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter() method.
- Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven() to insert different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages.
- Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.TextRange;
import java.awt.*;
public class insertHeaderAndFooter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a Document class instance
Document document = new Document();
//Load a Word document
document.loadFromFile("We Are Interwoven Beings.docx");
//Get the first section
Section section = document.getSections().get(0);
//Make the headers and footers of odd pages and even pages different
section.getPageSetup().setDifferentOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter(true);
//Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven() to insert different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages
insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven(section);
//Save the document
document.saveToFile("OddEvenHeaderAndFooter.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
private static void insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven(Section section) {
//Insert odd header
Paragraph P1 = section.getHeadersFooters().getOddHeader().addParagraph();
TextRange OH = P1.appendText("Odd Header");
P1.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
OH.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
OH.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
OH.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);
//Insert even header
Paragraph P2 = section.getHeadersFooters().getEvenHeader().addParagraph();
TextRange EH = P2.appendText("Even Header");
P2.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
EH.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
EH.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
EH.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);
//Insert odd footer
Paragraph P3 = section.getHeadersFooters().getOddFooter().addParagraph();
TextRange OF = P3.appendText("Odd Footer");
P3.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
OF.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
OF.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
OF.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);
//Insert even footer
Paragraph P4 = section.getHeadersFooters().getEvenFooter().addParagraph();
TextRange EF = P4.appendText("Even Footer");
EF.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
EF.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
P4.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
EF.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);
}
