I'm doing software archaeology again.

This is an unfortunate bit of history.  This bug was fixed by

2006-01-24  Wolfgang Baer  <wb...@gmx.de>

        * javax/print/SimpleDoc.java: Make class final.
        * javax/print/attribute/standard/PrinterIsAcceptingJobs.java: Likewise.
        * javax/print/attribute/DateTimeSyntax.java:
        (toString): New overridden method.
        * javax/print/attribute/standard/JobStateReasons.java:
        (add): Use the super.add method to avoid recursion.
        * javax/print/attribute/standard/PrinterStateReasons.java:
        (put): Use the super.put method to avoid recursion.

but was re-broken by the merge of generics-branch to HEAD:
