FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :Windows NT Version 4.0


EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Printer is HP 895 cse
Happens in Forte 4 or running jar file from desktop

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Code which prints using printer job, prints incorrect
colors on Windows NT with an HP 895cse printer. It works
fine on Windows XP in version 1.4, and on Windows NT with
version 1.3. Blue prints it should, black prints as white,
red prints as aqua and white prints as a very pale purple.



REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. use this code to print a JFrame in Windows NT with an HP
895 cse printer.
2.
3.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I had expected this to print the same colors on the page as
I see on the screen as it did in version 1.3 with same
printer. (This exact code prints fine on Windows XP in
version 1.4 with a different HP printer.)
Wrong colors:
  red = aqua
  white = pale purple
  black = white
  grey = blue
  blue = blue (this is okay)

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
There is no error, the colors are just wrong

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
I can print blue text on a white background to have a
legible output, but not happy with this solution
