However I believe it has failed for much longer than that (!)
JDK 18 has a fix
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8262731:
[macOS] Exception from "Printable.print" is swallowed during "PrinterJob.print"

I just confirmed this - it reproduces all the way back to JDK 8 (at least!)
In other words, before JDK 18 we were incorrectly hiding the problem.
