Java version: through out all JDK 7

OS: Windows

Browser: IE


Facing an issue in Java 1.7 where once login to our application and after selecting a value to print, the print dialog opens. Now when click on cancel instead of OK button, error throws -
 
Below the code snippet

Private PrintJob pjb;
pjb = factory.getPrintJob( frame, orientation );
pg = pjb.getGraphics();


Here for all versions of 1.7 Jre would get pg value as "null" due to which error is thrown.

This issue is not happening in Java 1.6 and 1.5. To fix this, there did has a workaround to check for null condition and returning false in code. After doing this workaround, the issue is resolved.

if there is any other solution to implement this code apart from going with the workaround.
