Printing a JTable with a JScrollPane prints table without rows populated

      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      Reproduced on Windows 10 using Java 11. The table prints fine with the JScrollPane with Java 1.8.0_181

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      A simple JTable doesn't print correctly if the table is contained in a JScrollPane. The same table prints correctly if it's added directly to a JPanel without a JScrollPane.

      Side note: Setting up the JScrollPane to always hide the scroll bars doesn't change the result.

      REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8u181

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      - Run source code below.
      - Print to "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer
      - Open saved pdf
      - Notice printed table doesn't match table visible in program window


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Table printed in pdf should have same number of rows as table appearing in program window
      ACTUAL -
      Table printed in pdf has a complete header but has no row data.

      /** A simple utility class that lets you very simply print

      * print doesn't need a print method and doesn't have to
      * implement any interface or do anything special at all.
      * <P>
      * If you are going to be printing many times, it is marginally more
      * efficient to first do the following:
      * <PRE>
      * PrintUtilities printHelper = new PrintUtilities(theComponent);
      * </PRE>
      * then later do printHelper.print(). But this is a very tiny
      * difference, so in most cases just do the simpler
      * PrintUtilities.printComponent(componentToBePrinted).

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Don't put the table in a JScrollPane. Instead add the table header and table manually to the parent JPanel and print that.

      FREQUENCY : always
