Our users often need to print a small set of pages from a large document
(thousands of pages). To accomodate this, we have a object that can handle the
requests for pages, retrieve them off the server as they are needed, and return
them as a Printable. What we end up doing to making another object to
implement Pageable to send the requested pages to the PrinterJob. It would be
nice if we could call the print method of PrintJob with a pageable object and a
page range to print. This allow us to get rid of the middle step.

It is not a difficult thing to work around, but the change to the JDK API
doesn't sound to tough either, so I thought I would see what you thought.

Thank you.
