Hello,

i am using 
       PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
       job.pageDialog(attributes);
       javax.print.attribute.Attribute a[]=attributes.toArray();
to show a pageDialog for the user so that he can adjust his
 print margins. This works in principle. But: under certain
 circumstances the user cannot change the print margins. The
 dialog changes the value in the edit box back to its previous
 value.

My first thought was that the system only tries to avoid silly
 values, but after more tests i found out that this not the
 source of the problem. For example i once used a right margin
 of 5 mm. Printout ok with 5 mm. Then i changed it to 50 mm.
 Printout ok with 50 mm. Ok. But if i enter now the pageDialog
 again, i cannot change the right margin back to 5 mm (the
 system automatically switches back to 50 mm, although 5 mm is a
 perfectly reasonable value).

My beta tester is somewhat irritated by the behaviour of the
 dialog but i told him that its a system dialog. :-)

Did somebody have a similar problem?

regards

Oliver
