============================================================================
When I tried to print the plain text file out of Ichitaro Ark,
I could not change paper size and direction of printing.

1. Configration

  OS : Windows95(OSR2)
  JDK ver. : kestrel build-p
  Application : Ichitaro Ark ver. 1.0 (Product ver.)
     note)
      Ichitaro Ark is compiled with jdk1.2.2-002 and includes jre
      of that version.
      So on default, runtime runs as jdk1.2.2-002.
  Printer : Canon Laser Shot LBP 750 (Page Printer)

2. Reproduction

  (1) Please install Ichitaro Ark on your WS.
  (2) Change directory of Ark installed
      -> You can see the file "ark10.jar"
  (3) Type "java -jar ark10.jar"
      -> A splash window will appear and then the Page image window
         will appear.
  (4) Select "file"-"open" and specifiy a plain text file.
  (5) Select "file"-"Print..."
      -> Print Dialog will appear
  (6) Click "Property" button
      -> "Canon LASER SHOT LBP 730 Property" Dialog will appear.
          Paper size may be set A4
  (7) Change "Paper Size" (NOT "OUTPUT Paper Size")
      -> The text box of "OUTPUT Paper Size" will be changed
         automatically.
  (8) Click "Update" button
  (9) Click the "OK" Button
      -> "Canon LASER SHOT LBP 730 Property" Dialog will disappear
  (10) Click "OK" Button on the "Print" Dialog Box

  I expect the data will printed to the paper size that specified
  the step (7).

  And at step (7), I change the direction of printing, but not reflected.


3. Note

   (1) At step (7), if change the "OUTPUT Paper Size", changing will be
       reflected the printing job.
   (2) Before step (5), select "file"-"page style" and change the paper
       size.
       Then select "file"-"Print..." and click "OK" button.
       On this sequence, printing job reflects the change.
   (3) As to the direction, I could not change.
   (4) This issue has not happen on jdk1.2.2-002.

Please evaluate the attached java code files from Justsystem

< Configration >

  OS : Windows95(OSR2)
  JDK ver. : kestrel build-r
  Printer : EPSON ESPER LASER LP8400F (Page Printer)

I hope the string will be printed to the paper of letter size
with the orientation "landscape".

Operation 1) ...May have something wrong

1. Set the EPSON LP8400F the default printer.
   Then set A4 size paper to the Caset and
   the letter size paper to manual feed tray.

2. Type "java SetPrintableSample"
   -> The window that has tittle "SetPrintableSample" will show up.

3. Select [file]-[PrintDialog]
   -> "Print" dialogue will show up.

4. Click the "property" button
   -> "property" dialogue will show up.

5. Change paper size from default (Maybe A4) to letter
   and change orientation from portrait to landscape.

=> The change of step 5 will not be reflected upon the printing job.


Operation 2)

1. Set the EPSON LP8400F the default printer.
   Then set A4 size paper to the Caset and
   the letter size paper to manual feed tray.

2. Type "java SetPrintableSample"
   -> The window that has tittle "SetPrintableSample" will show up.

3. Select [file]-[PageDialog]
   -> "Page" dialogue will show up.

4. Change paper size from default (Maybe A4) to letter(maybe represented
   LT) and change the orientation from portrait to landscape.

5. Click "OK" button in "Page" dialogue
   
6. Select [file]-[PrintDialog]
   -> "Print" dialogue will show up.

7. Click "OK" button

=> The change of step 4 will be reflected upon the printing job
   correctly.


When we compiled the attached code with jdk1.2.2-002 and executed
on jdk1.2.2-002, both of the above operations worked as we expected.
So Justsystem considers that the change of operation 1) should be
reflected upon the printing job with kestrel build-r.

FYI
 Even if the code is compiled with jdk1.2.2-002,
 the operation 1) did not worked well on kestrel build-r.
