Hi folks,
It seems that printing for applications that use the Java Development Kit
on Linux is broken- to see the problem, run an applet in the appletviewer
and try to print- you should get an error dialog about "No print service found"
with no option to configure it.
I've also seen the problem when I try to print from the FORTE development
environment, with the identical error message (this isn't surprising, since
it uses the JDK internally).
Might this be related to the lack of "lp" on Linux? I think we had the
same problem on Suns a while back and it got fixed- no problem on
Suns; can we do the same for Linux?
Thanks,
Alex
