CODE THAT CRASHES:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.print.*;

public class SimplePrint implements Printable {

  private static Font fnt = new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 24);

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Obtain PrinterJob
    PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();

    // Set orientation

    // Specify the Printable is an instance of SimplePrint
    job.setPrintable(new SimplePrint());

    // Put up dialog box
    if (job.printDialog()) {

      // Print the job if the user does not cancel
      try {

        job.print();
      }
      catch (Exception e) {

      }

    System.exit(0);
  }

  public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex)
                   throws PrinterException {

    // pageIndex 0 to 4 corresponds to page numbers 1 to 5
    if (pageIndex >= 5) return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    g.setFont(fnt);
