The description for the pageDialog and printDialog methods of the PrinterJob
class do not specify what happens when the system on which it is running
does not have a printer configured to it.

Sample code follows....
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;

public class test {
public test() {

 PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
   try {
        job.printDialog();
        System.out.println("No Exception. ");
   } catch (Exception e) {
     System.out.println("Caught "+e);
   }

public static void main(String[] args) {
        new test();
}
}

See also Bug Id: 4384739 which states that PrinterJob.print() should throw
PrinterException if no printer is available.
