On my system, I print to postscript files via a postscript printer that I've configured to print to file. I've set this up by installing the driver for Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS and set it to print to port FILE.

Using this printer, I get an exception under certain circumstances. To see this, configure a printer to print to file and try SwingSet2.

- When it loads, change to the table demo.
- Hit the Print button.
- Select your "file" printer and hit print (do not check the "Print to file" checkbox).
- When the native dialog appears asking you to enter the output file name, hit cancel.
- SwingSet2 displays a Printing Failed dialog with the message "T". This "T" message is the result of calling getMessage() on a PrinterException that is thrown as a result of cancelling the dialog. Changing TableDemo.java to print the stack trace for the exception gives the following trace:

java.awt.print.PrinterException: T
        at sun.awt.windows.WPrinterJob._startDoc(Native Method)
        at sun.awt.windows.WPrinterJob.startDoc(WPrinterJob.java:1169)
        at sun.print.RasterPrinterJob.print(RasterPrinterJob.java:1325)
        at javax.swing.JTable$8.run(JTable.java:4990)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

This is a regression in Mustang. In 1.5.0, no exception is thrown.
