Description colemanc 2007-12-15 15:32:38 UTC 
I am runing Netbeans 6.0 in the Ubuntu/Gutsy operating system.  When I attempt to print a code file in the editor, it
give s me a nice print preview page but when I click on Print in the bottom right corner of the preview page, it doesn't
work.    I do not get any dialog for the printer as I do with all other applications.  The preview window also
disappears.  I initiate the print using the Print option under the File menu.  I am fairly new to Ubuntu and linux so
its possible I am missing something.  I have tried to print both ruby and java files with no luck.

Please provide details:

1. Version of NetBeans: File > Help > About
2. Can you print from another applications?
3. Please run attach java program and try to print
   from it. What is the result?

Comment 3 Vladimir Yaroslavskiy 2007-12-19 09:16:54 UTC 
From email thread:

1. netbeans ide 6.0 build 200711261600  also I am using java jdk 1.6.0_03.

2.   Yes, I can print from several other applications including  Firefox and  Abiword.  (My husband also cannot print
and he has the netbeans 6.0 installed under Fedora.  I am using Ubuntu.)

3.  It appears to be having  an exception at the following code line:
       dialog = new ServiceDialog(gc,
                      x + gcBounds.x,
                      y + gcBounds.y,
                      services, defaultIndex,
                      flavor, attributes,
                      (Dialog)owner);
   }

here is the error dump when I run it:

Comment 4 Vladimir Yaroslavskiy 2007-12-19 09:21:15 UTC 
Looks like the problem is in jdk 6.0 under unix, see stack trace, it can't print AttributedCharacters.
Fix should be in next patch/release of jdk.
