Because PrintWriter.toString() isn't implemented.
When you created the PrintWriter, you directed it to
System.out -- so all of the text you're sending to the PrintWriter
is going there. When you call toString(), you're getting the
Object.toString() result.
I think you want java.io.StringWriter -- it appears it will
work the way you want.
