EVALUATION

Since the problem doesn't exist in tiger, the development team won't be 
working on it.  In order to get a fix in a 1.4.2 update release, this bug 
needs to be escalated.  This bug should be marked tiger-na.  
###@###.### 2003-12-15


The print operation is done by a separate thread, "printerJobThread", running async to the awt-eventqueue thread. And hence, if the PrintJob.end() is called the method does not wait for the printer thread to complete creating the .ps file. But closes it prematurely, causing some PS tags not written into the file. This incomplete file when submitted to `lpr -P<prn> <file>` command is not getting printed.
