Public bug reported: This applies to a current Feisty Fawn installation as of 2007-02-20. I have installed Java 1.6.0 using the Sun download packages.
Printing from any java application (e.g. Netbeans, Jedit) to a CUPS printer does not work because the Java application complains about the printer not accepting jobs. However, the printer is accepting jobs and does work without problems from other applications. There is a workaround: when changing the printer name so that it does not contain hyphens (by editing /etc/cups/printers.conf) printing from Java applications does work. Unfortunately, printer names cannot be changed through the printers dialog from the control center. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Tags added: java printing ** Description changed: This applies to a current Feisty Fawn installation as of 2007-02-20.
