Printing from Java to local printer fails

[Hans Artmann]

Michael,
unfortunately I don't have the sources of the print API so all I can do is to look into the print service and print job structures after they've been created and after the print call.

What am I looking for?

There's an irregularity when printing on Linux which does not occur when printing from Windows:
I'm catching the PrintJob events and on Windows I get printDataTransferCompleted and printJobNoMoreEvents in sequence while on Linux this sequence always appears twice, i.e.
printDataTransferCompleted
printJobNoMoreEvents
printDataTransferCompleted
printJobNoMoreEvents

Any idea?
Thanks  Hans
