Using Java 2 SDK 1.2.2, REVERSE_LANDSCAPE printer orientation
may result in nothing being printedThe new printing API in JDK 1.2 supports several paper orientations.

With JDK 1.2 LANDSCAPE and REVERSE_LANDSCAPE were ignored (when not
printing a raster).

That was filed as bug 4186119 which fixed the LANDSCAPE case.

Now however, REVERSE_LANDSCAPE seems to have an effect: but it appears
it transforms the drawing righf off the device/page.

The following test case from "J.Ganesan" < xxxxx@xxxxx >
which simply did not set orientation on 1.2FCS, now
(using JDK 1.2.2) shows nothing on the page at all.

import javax.swing.* ;
import java.awt.* ;
import java.awt.print.* ;

public class HorizontalLine implements Printable 
             
{
  public HorizontalLine()
  {
    super() ;
  }
  
  public void paint( Graphics g )
  {
    g.setColor(Color.black);
    g.drawLine( 100 , 100 , 300 , 100 ) ;
  }
  
  public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pi) throws PrinterException
  {
    if (pi >= 1) {
      return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    }
    paint(g);
    return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
  }
  
  public static void main( String[] args )
  {
    // Get a PrinterJob     
    PrinterJob prnJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    PageFormat pf = prnJob.defaultPage();
    pf.setOrientation(PageFormat.REVERSE_LANDSCAPE);
    prnJob.setPrintable(new HorizontalLine() , pf );     
       try 
       { 
         prnJob.print();
       }  
       catch (PrinterIOException e) 
       { /* handle exception */ 
         System.out.println( e ) ;
       }       
       catch (Exception e) 
       { /* handle exception */ 
         System.out.println( e ) ;
       }       
  }  
}

Use LANDSCAPE.
