The tutorial for Java2D contains a description of how to write code using the
Printable interface:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/printing/component.html

beginning with an example ShapesPrint. The source code for the example is at:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/printing/example-1dot2/ShapesPrint.java

The example uses Java 2 APIs to print Java 1.1 AWT objects. This is not
working. The example should be changed.

Originally, this bug was reported against category=java, subcategory=classes_2D.
It has been changed to an RFE. Until Java (3?) is changed to allow Java2D
Printables to print Java 1.1 AWT objects, the tutorial will be in error. The
classes_2D RFE has BugID 4184099.
