//First Method
doPrintSecond(root);
//Second Method
if (doPrint(printPane)) {
System.out.println("Print");
} else {
System.out.println("error");
}
}
//First
void doPrintSecond(Node printPane) {
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
if (job != null) {
boolean printed = job.printPage(printPane);
if (printed) {
job.endJob();
} else {
System.out.print("Faled");
}
} else {
System.out.print("could");
}
}
//Second
boolean doPrint(Node printPane) {
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
if (job == null) {
System.out.println("1");
return false;
}
if (!job.showPrintDialog(null)) {
System.out.println("2");
return false;
}
if (!job.printPage(printPane)) {
System.out.println("3");
return false;
}
return job.endJob();
}
}

You can use this code to print Pane. Also with the help of PageLayout you can set the size of paper you want, its orientation and also you can set the margin for your page.
I hope this helps!
Printer printer = Printer.getDefaultPrinter();
PageLayout pageLayout = printer.createPageLayout(Paper.A4,
PageOrientation.PORTRAIT, Printer.MarginType.HARDWARE_MINIMUM);
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
if (job != null && job.showPrintDialog(printPane.getScene().getWindow())) {
boolean success = job.printPage(pageLayout, printPane);
if (success) {
job.endJob();
}
}
