A configuration that does not work is the following:

Windows 98 / Second Edition / German
Epson Photo Stylus 750 Printer

If you run Print2.class with JDK-1.2.2_005 on this configuration, the printer
dialog comes up, in the print monitor you see that something is sent to the
printer, but nothing is printed out.
