FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using the JTable.print() method with the Windows XP look & feel, the table header printout looks blurry / pixelated. The effect is pronounced when there are many columns that must be sized to fit on the printout page.

I attempted to print the same table with 10 columns using the Windows Classic look & feel and the problem is not there. I only see it with the Windows XP look & feel.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a JFrame
Create a Box (Y-axis orientation)
Create a table with 10 columns (each column header is "Column [x]") and any body.
Add the table header and table to the Box
Add the Box to the JFrame
Show the JFrame
Call print() on the table.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The printout should have the entire table on one page and each column header and cell entry should be readable.
ACTUAL -
The table body is readable.
The table header is pixelated / blurry.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
