I have the following piece of code which works very
well on a Windows NT platform, but throws a
NullPointerException on a Unix platform (I tried
them on Solaric and SGI) :

...
   private static printPreferences_ = new Properties();
...
   Toolkit toolkit = this.getToolkit();
   PrintJob job = toolkit.getPrintJob( this,
                                       "test",
                                       printPreferences_ );

The line "PrintJob job = ..." encounters the
following error on a Unix platform :

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at sun.awt.motif.UPrintDialog.<init>(UPrintDialog.java:172)
        at sun.awt.motif.PSPrintControl.<init>(PSPrintControl.java:108)
        at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.getPrintJob(MToolkit.java:257)
        at testPrint.<init>(testPrint.java:14)
        at testPrint.main(testPrint.java:22)

Any ideas why or do any workaround suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
