version: 4.3pre13 using Java 1.5.0_12
on Windows XP
The printer properties dialog box is disabled. I can select and print to any of the network printers here, but I can't adjust any properties.
4 hardware networked printers (HP, Xerox, ...)
2 soft local printers (Primo PDF, MS XPS)
Selecting other printers from the list does not change the button status.
I saw a similar bug listed from 2002 as a "Java" bug. If this is still the case - please suggest a program I might try to test & verify that is true.
thanks.
I can confirm this also, on Java 1.6.0_16 and Jedit 4.4pre1.
I am not sure how to resolve this yet, since I am not familiar with the printing API.
I realize this is an old bug, but I wonder if the original submitter could list what printer properties are needed? I'm in the middle of reworking/updating the jEdit printing code, and am adding support for quite a few printer properties that the default, out-of-the-box printer dialog doesn't support.
I've done some research into this, and it's definitely a Sun/Oracle bug. From the Sun source code:
It's disabled because no one bothered to create a dialog for the button to show.
I think, this is irrelevant now, since jEdit 5.4.0 has it's own print dialog, isn't it?
