Description
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install jre7u51 #355 or jre8 b118
2) Set security level to medium
3) Launch the application from
javaws http://sqeweb.us.oracle.com/deployment2/sheldon/webCases/UserDecisionOption/jnlp/Unsigned_printer_jnlpApp.jnlp
4) accept unsigned security dialog.
5) On the pop-up access printer dialog, select "Always allow this application to access the printer" option and then accept the dialog.
6) close the applicaiton and then relaunch it from
javaws http://sqeweb.us.oracle.com/deployment2/sheldon/webCases/UserDecisionOption/jnlp/Unsigned_printer_jnlpApp.jnlp
7) accept the unsigned security dialog again.
8) if the  access printer dialog comes out again, bug is reproducible.


Note:

SQE OK to defer the fis from 7u55. What is intended target release now?

7u55 defer justification: It's not show stopper and was here for more then 2 and half years at least.

It is still reproducible. The issue here is that com.sun.jnlp.PrintServiceImpl.requestPrintPermission() ignores checkbox "Always allow..." and doesn't store its value in LAP. To show dialog it uses ApiDIalog which internally stores the value of checkbox in instance variable, thus it is not preserved between application relaunch,

this seems like a duplicate of the lap problem being fixed as part of https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029649 (jnlp applet w/o href cannot save anything to lap) please retest after fix to 8029649

7u51 defer justification: It's not a regression from 7u45 and not show stopper
