Thanks for responding. I know my initial email was long, sorry. Let me summarize:
If we print the entire sample document non-rasterized to *some* (but not all) printers, page 4 only partially prints. If we print to other printers, it prints fine. If we print just page 4, it prints fine. My guess is this is something weird deep in the Java print stack. What I am proposing is a small additional functionality related to the dpi parameter: If dpi is set to 0, then use current behavior (non rasterized). If dpi is set to > 0 create raster using that explicit dpi - current behavior. If dpi is set to -1 (introduce a constant RASTERIZE_AUTO), compute the raster dpi dynamically from the affine transform sent by the printer. This should be a *very* surgical enhancement (probably less than 5 lines of code), and preserves all existing behavior. I'm happy to provide a patch that does this, if you will accept it. The reason this is needed is that it is almost impossible to determine the dpi of a printer from Java. If someone has a way to do this, I will gladly do that - but I've spent hours digging through the JRE source, and there isn't a way to get at the print job resolution values without doing unsafe operations. (And yes, please ignore my suggestions about optimization by caching - I agree it is not worth introducing risk).
