The program works fine under Windows and Solaris. I have not personally
tested it under Linux. Does the Linux JDK support printing? The error
message seems to imply that it didn't come from the source in from the AWT
book. Is this something you added, or does it come from the Linux port?
I'm no longer on the Java-Linux mailing list, so I'm not sure if anyone
else answered this for you already.
Regarding printing in the JDK 1.2 API, it is much easier/cleaner to print,
especially multiple pages. In fact, you can even print w/o the dialog box
coming up.
