Page truncated when printing a transparent color with Windows 2000

Question

Hi,
We use the JDK 1.5.0_11 in a Windows 2000 SP4 platform with 2GB of RAM.
When printing a transparent color on a large page with a Windows 2000 platform,
- The printed page is unexpectedly truncated (the bottom of the page is not printed) or
- Even worse, the operating system crashes with a blue screen.
Notice that we neither have any exception thrown nor any log written !
Notice that this problem never occurs with a Windows XP platform !
The problem can be reproduced as follows:
1. Run the sample below,
2. The "Page Setup" dialog is opened,
3. Select a large paper size such as A2 or A1,
4. Press the "Ok" button,
5. The "Print" dialog is opened,
6. Select a printer which can handle this paper size,
7. Press the "Ok" button,
8. The printed page is unexpectedly either truncated or the operating system crashes.
If you do not have a printer handling such large paper sizes,
the problem can still be reproduced using the latest version of "PDFCreator".
Could anybody provide us with some hints ?
Thank you very much for your help ...

I did this with the Windows de-installer and it did not work. Is there something more I need to do? Does Mozilla have a program for removing its software that is more complete?
