I can see the applet loaded and all swing elements in browser when i try to click print it just wont do anything. In eclipse run it works fine.
I know this is security issue so i have also added policy (C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\security\java.policy file)
grant codeBase "http://localhost:8080/appletproj/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

But even this does not help. please guide me where am I going wrong.
SOLUTION
Frankly i did not got solution to work, rather it was not a security issue so creating new question with actual error
So to get the exact error i enabled java console (suggested by andrew), you can go here for how to do it.
UPDATE
After few days I got it working, the issue was jna.jar and platform.jar which were already signed so whenever i signed them using jarsigner it never worked and i never got any error (so i never looked at them), when i verified it using jarsigner i figured it out. Then i unsigned them and signed it using same key which i used with my jar (Hope it will help others)
..also added policy .. But even this does not help.
Policy files are rarely, if ever, a good idea. If the code needs to be trusted, digitally sign the archive(s).
