When running next program at a dutch version of Windows 95, with a standard
printer that has A4 as standard paperformat, this program returns a paper size
of 8.5x11 inch (letter I believe). I expected 210x297mm (A4), as previous
version (JRE 1.3.1) did.

import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;

public class DefPaperSize {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double w_72dpi, w_i, w_mm;
        double h_72dpi, h_i, h_mm;

        // get default pageformat
        PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PageFormat format = job.defaultPage();
        w_72dpi = format.getWidth(); // in 72dpi acc. API doc.
        h_72dpi = format.getHeight(); // in 72dpi acc. API doc.

        // calculate size in inches
        w_i = w_72dpi / 72.0;
        h_i = h_72dpi / 72.0;

        // calculate size in millimeters (mm)
        w_mm = w_i * 25.4;
        h_mm = h_i * 25.4;

        // output sizes
        System.out.println("Default Printer Page size");
        System.out.println("width = " + w_72dpi + "[72dpi] = "
                                      + w_i + " [inch] = "
                                      + w_mm + " [mm]");
        System.out.println("height = " + h_72dpi + "[72dpi] = "
                                       + h_i + " [inch] = "
                                       + h_mm + " [mm]");

        System.exit(0);
    }
}

Release Regression From : 1.3.1
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was knwon to work. Since then there has been a regression.
