Printing problem with Windows : Win32PrintService

Question

Hi,
I wrote a program which I run under Windows, and prints a .gif image with some text.
I have tested it vith various printers, and it works well.
But with a specific printer (Datamax Allegro, driver by Seagull) I get this exception :
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
at sun.print.Win32PrintService.getDefaultAttributeValue(Win32PrintService.java:785)
at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.printableJob(Win32PrintJob.java:414)
at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:343)
I have downloaded the whole source for j2sdk 1.4.0, but did not find the source for
Win32PrintService and Win32PrintJob, so I can not run it in debug mode
Does anyone know where I can find that source ,
... or has any idea on how to avoid that exception ?
Thanks for any advice

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptionHi have the same problem with a Seiko smart label printer 240
I have downloaded the whole source for j2sdk 1.4.0,
but did not find the source for
Win32PrintService and Win32PrintJob, so I can not run
it in debug mode
Does anyone know where I can find that source ,j2se\src\win32\classes\sun\print\Win32PrintService.java
AFAIR you have to download the sources separately somewhere from sun.
... or has any idea on how to avoid that exception ?it tries to access an elment of a non-existing array.
(guessing: the array should contain some media information and the printer driver does not report any media data?)
from memory, something like:
aset.add(MediaSize.ISO_A4);
may help, if this does make sense for you.
I posted a bug to sun, so lets wait and see...
