I am opening a sample HTML file in JEditorPane and printing it by calling JEditorPane.print(). The dialog opens up and I am clicking the print button. After that, the interactive dialog is shown with the message 'Printing in progress' and the application hangs. Application stops responding to any of the user inputs and the interactive dialog just stays there for ever.

This is reproducible on Mustang-b53 but not reproducible on Mustang-b51. This is noticed on WinXP as well as Solaris-Sparc10. Looks like this is a regression introduced in Mustang-b52 or 53. Printing a text file works properly.

I have attached a sample test. Execute it as follows.
'java JEditorPaneTest sample_html.html'
Click the print button. A print dialog will open up. Click on the print button. If the application hangs after that and if the interactive dialog stays on the screen forever, the bug is reproduced.

Here is the thread dump at the time of hang:
