FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0
Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The print dialog displayed by ServiceUI.printDialog
has a check box labeled "Print to File". It you
check this box and then select "Print", a file
selection dialog appears. The file you select here
receives output that would otherwise be sent to a
printer. This works just as expected under Linux.
Under Windows, you can check "Print to File" and
select a file name, but the job will be sent to
the printer anyway.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Run the demo program included below.
2. When the print dialog appears, select "Print to File".
3. Select "Print".
4. Select a file name.
5. Try again under Linux for comparison.
   Everything works fine under SuSE 8.1, kernel 2.4.19, glibc 2.2.5

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Postscript output written to the selected file.
ACTUAL -
Postscript output sent to a printer.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
