The title says it all... I'm having trouble getting printing to work. Here's the printing code I'm using:
The CommonDialogs class that's being invoked here is just a convenience class for displaying frequently used dialog boxes. Printing works on the Java end, but when it sends the data to the printer I get an error:
pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000
I'm not sure what's going on.
EDIT 2: Just tried the same printing code on my Windows 7 machine. It works there.
Code:
