FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

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

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Calling printerJob.pageDialog() brings up the native page setup dialog. On Windows this includes a "Printer..." button which lets you select the printer. But whereas printerJob.getPrintService().getName() used to return the name of the selected printer, now it just returns the name of the default printer. There seems to no longer be a way to find out the name of the printer selected in the native page setup dialog or therefore make that be the name of the selected printer when you bring up the print dialog.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Compile and run the program below under JDK 1.4.2 and JDK 1.5.0 on Windows.
2) Click on "Printer..."
3) Select a non-default printer.
4) Note printed line.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should give name of selected printer
ACTUAL -
Gives name of default printer

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
