On Win XP, when there are no printers configured on the system, i am executing a printing application which creates a PrintJob from toolkit. Till Tiger-b12, this application brings up an error dialog when setting the dialog type to native or common. In case of native, the error dialog brings up the printer configuration wizard and in case of common, it just shows a dialog saying no printer found.

Right from Tiger-beta-b13, these dialogs are not appearing and no action is taken when creating a print job. print job returned is null. Error dialogs are very useful for the end user and hence this must be fixed to resemble b12. Moreover, the error dialogs do appear for PrinterJob on all the builds and implementing this for PrintJob would make it consistant with the other printing APIs. I tested this on Win XP.

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test on a win32 system that does not have a printer. If you don't get any error dialogs, the bug is reproduced.
