A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Please backport the fix for issue JDK-8322135 to Java 21 LTS.

Background:
We are migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on our clients and from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022 on our servers which provide virtual desktops for our users.

Currently we are using Java 17 LTS but are in the progress of migrating to Java 21 LTS.

We use Java Swing applications in our production that routinely use Swing JTable printing.
For visual consistency they are using the Windows native Look and Feel, i. e. UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName().
Unfortunately, on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022, our users cannot print JTables anymore because they are hitting this bug:

https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8322135
Printing JTable in Windows L&F throws InternalError: HTHEME is null
The bug report states that Java 22 is affected, and it very well may be, but Java 17 LTS and Java 21 LTS are affected as well.

As a result there currently is no Java LTS release at all where users can print JTables on Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022 when the system-native Look and Feel is used.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Use the JTable.print() functionality in Java 21 on Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The table contents are being printed
ACTUAL -
The table contents are not being printed and an exception is thrown:
