system.out.println not working in applet

[Mona Ali]

hi to all
i made a code to find the mac number that runs on java and gives me output but when i implement it on applet and link the applet with html then applet links correctly but the logic to find mac number does not execute.....what should i do...here is my code

import java.net.*;


public class Main {

    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
   

 InetAddress ip;
	try {

		ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
		System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress());

		NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);

		byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();

		System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");

		StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
		for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
           sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
		}
		System.out.println(sb.toString());

	} catch (UnknownHostException e) {

		e.printStackTrace();

	} catch (SocketException e){

		e.printStackTrace();

	}
     
    }

}

what i can use instead of system.out.println

I don't think that you can use println in this case. You need something like this:

public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25);
    }

		msgs="Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress();
                g.drawString(msgs,10,40);

        String myLocalIP = local.getHostAddress();
            //String ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost().toString();
             g.drawString(myLocalIP,10,40);
        } catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(JavaApplication8.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

     }   
}
