Hi Gabriel,
Try using Toxi's BAppLauncher hack (see Toxi's post further down on the page). You'll need a Java run-time (available from www.java.com).
BAppLauncher allows you to run your applet in an application context, which means you can use saveFrame() as usual.

hi pinkwalker,
i had to do this recently. there is some great sample code in a book called "java cookbook" published by oreilly press that i found helpful; i repeat it here for your benefit. this is known to work in processing 67 on os x.
to print, call the method printscreendavid().
void printscreendavid()
{
// java 1.1 version -- this totally works but brings up an os print dialog. i'm not so fond of those.
/*
// fetch printjob object from toolkit
PrintJob pj = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(new Frame(), "test", null);
// fetch graphics object to draw on (this is what printer sees).
Graphics pg = pj.getGraphics();
// ask window to paint itself on printer's graphics object
super.paint(pg);
// say byebye and clean up
pg.dispose();
pj.end();
*/
// java 1.2 -- can print in background which is nicer
try {
java.awt.print.PrinterJob pjob = java.awt.print.PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
pjob.setJobName("FingerprintMazeMap -- You are there.");
pjob.setCopies(1);
pjob.setPrintable(new java.awt.print.Printable() {
public int print(Graphics pg, java.awt.print.PageFormat pf, int pageNum) {
if (pageNum > 0)
return java.awt.print.Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE; // end of job
superPaint(pg);
return java.awt.print.Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}
});
// calling printDialog forces an OS print dialog -- we don't like os dialogs
// if (pjob.printDialog() == false)
//return;
pjob.print();
} catch (java.awt.print.PrinterException pe) {
}
}
void superPaint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
}
