Paul,
There are two printer APIs now in JDK.
- The "1.1 Printing API" which can only handle 1.1 graphics.
- The new "2D printing API" which is java.awt.print.PrinterJob and friends.
So java.awt.PrintJob is part of the "1.1 Printing API" and so isn't
related to 2D printing.
I am aware of a proposal by the AWT group to implement what you are asking for,
and additional related features, but I don't believe any decisions have
been taken. It certainly won't appear in the next maintenance release.
BTW there is a bug with setting page orientation on the 1.2 printing api too,
but I know that one is fixed for LANDSCAPE in the upcoming maintenance
release.
-Phil.
