JTable's Printable implementation was designed so that it could be wrapped into another Printable. In order for this to work in the most optimal way, the table Printable should not permanently modify attributes of the Graphics object passed to it (ie. transform, etc...). It currently does. This can be worked around by passing a copy of the Graphics when delegating to it. But we should fix it.

This same problem *may* also be true of the text component Printable.
JTextCompnent's printable does not have this problem. It creates new Graphics2D on every print method. However it does not call dispose on this graphics. Bug 6495661 [TextCompnentPrintable does not call dispose on created graphics] was created.
