I have cups version 1.3.7-r1 and Sun JDK 1.6.0.07 under gentoo kernel
version 2.6.25. When I try to print from a Java program, I get the
following exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException:

Downgrading to cups version 1.2.12-r8 fixed the problem. It seems that
this problem was introduced by the latest versions of cups.
