System name:		scyther.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.4.26 (with mkserv)
Display type:		nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 420] (rev a3)

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		metacity

What were you trying to do?
Access the Print Setup and Print Preview functions of Matlab.

What's wrong:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Matlab
2. Type, without quotes, "figure(1)" to get a figure window.
3. Click File->Print Setup.

At this point, the Matlab window displays:

>> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: services must be non-null and non-empty
        at javax.print.ServiceUI.printDialog(Unknown Source)
        at com.mathworks.page.export.printdlg.Printdlg.setVisible(Printdlg.java:435)

The Print Setup window does not open.

4. Click File->Print Preview

At this point, Matlab prints a bunch of debugging info and segfaults.
The window containing the debugging info disappears when Matlab
segfaults, so that information is not reproduced here.

What should have happened:
Clicking Print Setup and Print Preview should have performed their
functions.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
