Snip the area you want

Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0,dataDisplayAreaAnchorPane.getWidth(),dataDisplayAreaAnchorPane.getHeight());
            dataDisplayAreaAnchorPane.setClip(rect);
            WritableImage writableImage;
            writableImage = new WritableImage((int) dataDisplayAreaAnchorPane.getPrefWidth(),
                    (int) dataDisplayAreaAnchorPane.getPrefHeight());
            dataDisplayAreaAnchorPane.snapshot(null, writableImage);        
            eventDispatcher.printLandscape(writableImage);

Resize according to A4 paper size and print

public void print(WritableImage writableImage, Stage primaryStage) {
            ImageView imageView =new ImageView(writableImage);
            Printer printer = Printer.getDefaultPrinter();
            PageLayout pageLayout = printer.createPageLayout(Paper.A4, PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE, Printer.MarginType.DEFAULT);
            double scaleX = pageLayout.getPrintableWidth() / imageView.getBoundsInParent().getWidth();
            double scaleY = pageLayout.getPrintableHeight() / imageView.getBoundsInParent().getHeight();
            imageView.getTransforms().add(new Scale(scaleX, scaleY));

            PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
            if (job != null) {
                boolean successPrintDialog = job.showPrintDialog(primaryStage.getOwner());
                if(successPrintDialog){
                    boolean success = job.printPage(pageLayout,imageView);
                    if (success) {
                        job.endJob();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
