The method
      public String toString()
of 5 classes:
      java.awt.JobAttributes.DefaultSelectionType
      java.awt.JobAttributes.DestinationType
      java.awt.JobAttributes.DialogType
      java.awt.JobAttributes.MultipleDocumentHandlingType
      java.awt.JobAttributes.SidesType
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.JobAttributes.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object objects[] = {
            DefaultSelectionType.ALL,
            DestinationType.FILE,
            DialogType.COMMON,
            MultipleDocumentHandlingType.SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES,
            SidesType.ONE_SIDED,
        };
        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()));
        }
    }
}

the output:
