my applet goes like

There are basically 2 strategies you can pursue here:

• Digitally sign the applet and get the user to click Run when prompted.
  See Signing and Verifying JAR Files for details.
• Deploy the applet in a more recent JRE using Java Web Start & use the PrintService of the JNLP API to print. Here is a demo. of the PrintService.
