Printing on Windows 2000 with java 2D prints black rectangles instead
of the expected images.

When I try to print images from many of the print test cases, instead of getting
a printed image on paper, I get a Black rectangle were the image should be. 
This seems to be happening with *.gif or *.jpg images that java tries to print.
The test cases affected are:
Book001V, PageFormat003V, PrinterJob015V, PrintingTest010V, PrintingTest011V, 
PrintingTest012V.

I tried this test case on a Windows 2000 32 bit system, 
with an EPSON Stylus 600 printer, 
using Sun's 32 bit JDK 1.3. I also connected remotely to this same
printer from a Windows 2000 64 bit box. Images were printed as 
black boxes. 

The Printer Used for this test case was an Epson Stylus 600 Color Printer.

I believe that this might be a problem with the Printer drivers
for Windows 2000. I tried this testcase on an IBM 4019 Black and White
Laser Printer, and the image was printed OK, in Black and White. 

Test cases available on request.
