Here what i am trying to achive is to print a anchor pane by getting the default printer and here is the code.

public class printnodeController {
@FXML
private AnchorPane print;
public void print (){

    Printer printer = Printer.getDefaultPrinter();
    PageLayout pageLayout
        = printer.createPageLayout(Paper.A4, PageOrientation.PORTRAIT, 
Printer.MarginType.HARDWARE_MINIMUM);
    PrinterAttributes attr = printer.getPrinterAttributes();
    PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
    double scaleX
        = pageLayout.getPrintableWidth() / 
print.getBoundsInParent().getWidth();
    double scaleY
        = pageLayout.getPrintableHeight() / 
print.getBoundsInParent().getHeight();
    Scale scale = new Scale(scaleX, scaleY);
    print.getTransforms().add(scale);

    if (job != null && job.showPrintDialog(print.getScene().getWindow())) {
      boolean success = job.printPage(pageLayout, print);
      if (success) {
        job.endJob();

      }
    }
    print.getTransforms().remove(scale);

}
}

Take care of the Java naming conventions. Classnames should start with uppercase character — Jens, Aug 30 '17 at 06:25
Look into line **25** and check why the object you try to invoke a method on is *null*. That is all there is to this. And hint: when you do not know how to deal with NPEs - then consider studying some java basics first. Creating JavaFX UIs is an advanced topic ... not really suited for people who dont know how to deal with NPEs. — GhostCat, Aug 30 '17 at 06:26
