JDK-4285177 - RFE: Additional Java 2D printing work
Description

Name: stC104175			Date: 06/26/2000


java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build 1.2.2-L, green threads, nojit)

There is an urgent need for a way of accessing a list of printers and specifying
a printer for a PrinterJob. A Printer object would probably be suitable,
providing methods for retrieving the imageable area and other printer specific
properties.

Until this issue has been solved there is no way for serious 100% Java
developers to implement a full print support in their applications.
