      Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]

      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      All Java versions tested, source code browsed

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Need to use XPS_PASS for newer XPS based print drivers.
      This includes almost all Windows 8/8.1 drivers, and some newer XPS based drivers in Windows Vista+.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Try to send a postscript or pcl file, or any sort of printing that involves sending raw data to the printer.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Prints normally.
      ACTUAL -
      Nothing happens.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Use JNI and pass "XPS_PASS" instead of "RAW" for pDataType when printing.
