This mean your printer did not support this DocFlavor.
Try to find what DocFlavor your printer support.
// Just check the default one
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor[] flavors = service.getSupportedDocFlavors();
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
System.out.println(flavors.toString());
