Jar crashes on printing - general Swing problem?

Hello all,

my Java-application uses Swing to print the content of a window which works flawless. Except if I use the color printer I need to print and not the b/w one. As soon as I ...

a) change the printer in the print-dialog

b) change the standard prtiner wihtin the computer prefs

to this printer (Fiery Color Printer),

the program crashes even before I can hit the "Print" button ie. the program crashed as soon as the dialog should come up (in case the printer is set as standard) or as soon as I chose the printer in the print dialog.

I heard that printing IS an issue with Swing. Does anybody have any suggestions of a work around? Would be highly appreciated.

Take care,
