Tengo un sistema donde el usuario puede registrar estudiantes, asignaturas y la calificación del alumno en cada asignatura, junto con el tema y la fecha. Puede buscar las calificaciones de un estudiante en particular en una materia en particular ingresando el código del estudiante y seleccionando la materia en un cuadro combinado. Si lo busca, esas cosas se muestran en la jTable1.

Entonces, tengo un botón IMPRIMIR. Cuando el usuario hace clic en el botón Imprimir, el contenido que se muestra en la jTable1 va a una jTable2, la diferencia entre esas 2 tablas es que la jTable1 muestra el nombre del alumno y el nombre de la asignatura, pero la jTable2 no lo hace Aquí hay una foto para una mejor comprensión:

http://i.stack.imgur.com/37SNh.png

Entonces, cuando el usuario hizo clic en el botón para imprimir la jTable2, estaba usando este código aquí:

        MessageFormat header = new MessageFormat("Ficha Pedagógica - "+jComboBox1.getSelectedItem());

    MessageFormat footer = new MessageFormat("Página {0,number,integer}");

    try{
        jTable2.print(JTable.PrintMode.NORMAL, header, null);
    }
    catch(java.awt.print.PrinterException e){
        System.out.println("error");
    }

El hecho es que quería que se imprimieran 2 titulares, pero eso no se pudo lograr con la función de impresión incorporada. Entonces, aquí en Stack Overflow, encontré este tema:

Cómo imprimir varias líneas de encabezado con MessageFormat usando una JTable

Después de encontrar esto, intenté usar el código que figuraba allí. Como soy un principiante, incluso con todos los comentarios en el código, no pude entenderlo completamente. Entonces, traté de implementarlo, pero ahora, cuando hago clic en el botón "Imprimir", no sucede nada. Este es mi código del botón Imprimir:
