After discussion with Phil we are combining this fix with the fix for JDK-8150982. The combined fix is reviewed in the other bug.

Kevin already has a patch for the threading. It just needs to be posted. The error checking should be included since together they amount to a 90% rewrite of the same method. Some pseudo-code for this is pasted here. The actual fix needs to create a FutureTask .. private static final boolean statusOK(PrinterJob job) { PrinterJob.Status s = job.getStatus(); return (s == PrinterJob.Status.NOT_STARTED) || (s == PrinterJob.Status.PRINTING); } /** * Prints the current Web page using the given printer job. * <p>This method does not modify the state of the job, nor does it call * {@link PrinterJob#endJob}, so the job may be safely reused afterwards. * * @param job printer job used for printing * @since JavaFX 8.0 */ public void print(PrinterJob job) { if (!statusOK(job)) { return; } PageLayout pl = job.getJobSettings().getPageLayout(); float width = (float) pl.getPrintableWidth(); float height = (float) pl.getPrintableHeight(); int pageCount = invokeOnFXThreadAndWait(page.beginPrinting(width, height)); for (int i = 0; i < pageCount; i++) { while (statusOK(job)) { Node printable = new Printable(page, i, width); // what about this one ? job.printPage(printable); } } invokeOnFXThreadAndWait(page.endPrinting()); } } As an aside I noticed that the iOS and Android versions of this class are missing this API. That is another issue but also needs to be addressed.

It hasn't been tested yet, but I am fairly certain that it would affect all 8u releases.

Does it affect 8u102?
