successful operation if printer doesn't exist ?

[Stefan Sitte]

Hello,

here is a java code snippet to reproduce the "error".
While running the snippet delete the printer (the default printer is used because of services[0]).

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

import javax.print.DocFlavor;
import javax.print.PrintService;
import javax.print.PrintServiceLookup;

public class Print2DPrinterJob implements Printable{

	public static void main(String arg[]) {

		final Print2DPrinterJob sp = new Print2DPrinterJob();
		final PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(
				DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PAGEABLE, null);

		if (services.length > 0) {
			sp.run(services[0]);
		}
	}

	private void run(PrintService service) {
		while (true) {

			if (service != null) {
				final PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
	    		pj.setPrintable(this);
    			System.out.println("selected printer " + service.getName());
    			try {
    				pj.setPrintService(service);
    				pj.print();
    			} catch (final PrinterException pe) {
					String date = new SimpleDateFormat("kk:mm:ss")
							.format(new Date());
					System.err.println("[" + date + "] " + pe);
    			}
    		}
			try {
				Thread.sleep(30000);
			} catch (final InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
	}

	public int print(Graphics g,PageFormat pf,int pageIndex) {

		if (pageIndex == 0) {
			Graphics2D g2d= (Graphics2D)g;
			g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
			g2d.setColor(Color.black);
			g2d.drawString("example string", 250, 250);
			g2d.fillRect(0, 0, 200, 200);
			return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
		} else {
			return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
		}
	}
}
