I run the test case using jdk1.2.2_007 ang got same error,
My coworker in east cost run using jdk1.2.2W (we are not sure what 
is the real number for this jdk) but does not got any errors.
Hi,

As per our phone conversation that our developers have encountered
an exception thrown from their program when they migrate from
JDK1.2.2_001-win 
to JDK1.2.2_006-win. According to the developers their program
works fine with JDK1.2.2_001-win. 

The exception is thrown in the method called print(Graphics g, PageFormat
pageFormat, int pageIndex)
which the developers have implemented when implementing the
java.awt.print.Printable interface. 
The exception is "Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Zero length string passed to TextLayout
cons
tructor.
        at java.awt.font.TextLayout.<init>(TextLayout.java:337)"

I attached a sample Java program which can depict the exception problem
that they are experiencing. The program consists these two files
PrintTest.java and PrintUtilities.java. 


 <<PrintTest>> 
 <<PrintUtilities>>

After you have compiled the java files.
You can run the test from your command window as :
java PrintTest

GUI will appear. Then do these steps:
1) enter any string on "User ID:" and "Password:" fields
2) click "Print" button
3) Print screen will appear
4) click OK button

You should see exception message on your command window.
