A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a user attempts to print to a file but there is not enough space left on the device for the resulting file (as enforced by a disc quota), no error message is generated but the file is truncated or zero bytes in length.

This has been noticed when the user has reached his or her disc quota.

The problem appears to be in the print() method of java.awt.print.PrinterJob. The API states that a PrinterException should be thrown, but this isn't happening and no error is reported.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Make sure the user has a disc quota, one which is full.

The example application linked to from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jps/spec/printing2d.fm1.html can be used to demonstrate the problem.

Attempt to print to a file. There will be no error or exception, but the resulting file will be zero bytes in length.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Expect to see java.awt.print.PrinterIOException reported.
ACTUAL -
No error or exception.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
