To reproduce this problem, run the printing regression test found at:
test/java/awt/PrintJob/PrintComponentTest.

With 2D fonts, the following problems are apparent:
 -- On the first page, all lightweight components are printed without their
    names.
 -- On the second page, names of lightweight components are rendered with lines
    radiating from the upper-left corner of the Component. Jim Graham previously
    looked at this problem and said "it should go away if we fix any of a
    number of bugs related to inefficient use of GDI functions to render curved
    paths (see 4152595 and 4152600)." (From the Evaluation for BugId 4151707.)
 -- On the second and third pages, the fonts rendered for heavyweight components
    are far too small.

With platform fonts, the following problems are apparent:
 -- On all three pages, the fonts rendered for heavyweight components are far
    too small.
 -- On the third page, the fonts rendered for lightweight components are far
    too small.
 (Also, on the second page, lightweight components do not appear at all. This
  is a known AWT problem, not a 2D problem.)

While fonts did not print perfectly for beta4, you could at least work-around
the rendering problems by reenabling platform fonts. Now, doing so introduces
another set of problems. At the very least, Graphics.drawString (i.e.,
lightweight components properly printing their names) should work for FCS.
===================================================
printing problems related to 2D are fixed.  There is still a problem with
the positioning of text labels on buttons, which is being referred back to AWT
