The method
      public String toString()
of 5 classes:
      java.awt.PageAttributes.ColorType
      java.awt.PageAttributes.MediaType
      java.awt.PageAttributes.OrientationRequestedType
      java.awt.PageAttributes.OriginType
      java.awt.PageAttributes.PrintQualityType
returns wrong string.
              
The docs for all classes says:

public String toString()
Description copied from class: Object
Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a
string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative
representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses
override this method.
The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of
which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal
representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string
equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 
Overrides:
toString in class Object
Following copied from class: java.lang.Object
Returns:
a string representation of the object.

the test:
--------------------------------------------------
import java.awt.PageAttributes.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object objects[] = {
            ColorType.MONOCHROME,
            MediaType.A0,
            OrientationRequestedType.PORTRAIT,
            OriginType.PRINTABLE,
            PrintQualityType.DRAFT,
        };
        for (int i=0; i<objects.length; i++) {
            System.out.println("Real life: "+objects[i].toString());
            System.out.println(" Expected:
"+objects[i].getClass().getName()+"@"+Integer.toHexString(objects[0].hashCode()));
        }
    }
}

output:
