The simple program below crashes the merlin (1.4) JDK on windows 98 (not NT)
if you have an HP OfficeJet 600 installed.

import javax.print.*;

public class GDP {

   public static void main(String args[]) {
 
       PrintService defSvc = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
       System.out.println("default = " + defSvc);
    }
}


you get a GPF as follows :-
> This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
> If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

Synopsis. general protection fault when printing with HP 722C printer on Win 98SE

When attempting to print (on my HP DeskJet 722C) the runtime crashes on the
call to pjob.print():

O.S. : Windows 98SE
Printer Driver: HP DeskJet 720C Series Version 10.3

Not pretty!

Code to reproduce follows. This was a problem for me in beta2 (your review ID
132734) but you were not able to reproduce it. It looks very similar to bugs
4530428 and 4470606 that describe similar things happening under NT,
especially with HP printers! Hmmmmmmmm! Sounds like a funky interaction with
HP printer drivers to me...but what do I know?

The following snippet reproduces the problem on my system:
