With this code:


   Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
   JobAttributes ja = new JobAttributes(); // getDialog == JobAttributes.DialogType.NONE
   PageAttributes pa = new PageAttributes();

   ja.setDestination(JobAttributes.DestinationType.FILE);
   ja.setFileName("jn-resolution");
   ja.setDialog(JobAttributes.DialogType.NONE);

   PrintJob pj = tk.getPrintJob(null, "finalize", ja, pa);

I get the following exception

  java.awt.HeadlessException
        at sun.awt.motif.PSPrinterJob.printDialog(PSPrinterJob.java:507)
        at sun.java2d.PrintJob2D.printDialog(PrintJob2D.java:103)

According to the javadoc, setting DialogType.NONE will avoid the throwing of HeadlessException.

See attached .tar file for the full test case.

============================

the headless spec has been updated to indicate that PrintJob is not
supported in that mode
