A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
See closed bug #4716419.

Using the code supplied below (which has been modified from bug #4716419 to use more than one page), I would expect the page range selection on the print dialog to a) be active and b) display the maximum number of pages in the "page to" field.

This bug is apparent whether using the Book object which implements the Pageable interface or any opther custom object which implements the Pageable interface.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-b21, mixed mode)


FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows 98 [Version 4.10.2222]


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When printing using the JDK 1.4 cross-platform print dialog,
the page range comes up as Pages 1 to 1 rather than the
upper bound being the number of pages in the Pageable. This
is unlike the behavior for the native print dialog which
diplays the number of pages in the Pageable correctly.

This behavior is confusing to users who rely on this display
to tell them how many pages they will get, even though it is
not selected and they intend to go with the default "All"
option. The "All option should be the default and the
non-selected page range should report the correct range,
exactly as in the native print dialog.

Perhaps this was an intended improvement on the "9999"
display for Printables, but the right thing to do for the
Printables case is to leave them blank. In any event they
shouldn't be filled in wrong for Pageables since the
Pageable provides you with the correct number.

The PageRanges print request attribute can be used to force
the page range display to the desired values. The problem
is that then the page range option becomes the default, not
"All" as it should be. Also, if this is done, since a
forced PageRanges attribute will always be returned in the
print request attribute set, it is no longer possible for
the program to distinguish if the user actually specified
the "All" option.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Compile and run the program below, number of pages in the
Pageable is 2.
2. Cross-platform print dialog comes up first. You can
Print or cancel this dialog.
3. Native print dialog comes up next for comparison.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected: Both cross-platform and native print dialogs
should have "All" as the default and a page range "Pages 1
to 2".

Actual: Native print dialog is correct, but the
cross-platform print dialog says "Pages 1 to 1".

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;

public class Test {
static public void main(String args[]) {
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
pj.setPageable(new MyPageable());
pj.printDialog(new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet());
pj.printDialog();
System.exit(0);
}
}

class MyPageable implements Pageable {
public int getNumberOfPages() { return 2; }
public PageFormat getPageFormat(int i) { return
PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage(); }
public Printable getPrintable(int i) { return new MyPrintable(); }
}

class MyPrintable implements Printable {
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pi) {
if (pageIndex>=2) return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
g2d.drawString("This is page " + (pi+1), 100, 100);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}
}


---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
The PageRanges print request attribute can be used to force
the page range display to the desired values. But then the
page range option incorrectly becomes the default instead of
"All" and the program can no longer distinguish if the user
actually specified the "All" option.
