Hi,
	Since JAVA has too many bugs in their getPrintJob on windows, and since
this complaint has been ignored since 1.1beta3 (earliest reference)...
you cant print on win 95 without the dialog box popping up, resolution
for the print is stuck at 72 dpi, properties are not documented nor are
the accessable (they are ignored) on win95, and on and on... different
bug reports show this as a real bug, no bug due to this being the way
they designed it, an enhancement to be added (they actually put back
some more bugs in 1.1.5!) 
	Sad part is that if you added up all the votes on just those things
that have to do with getPrintJob working toghether it would be in the
lower third of the top 25!!!

those wanting to double check my efforts and research can look and see
bug reports 4032122,4065526,4045174,4036938,4067405,4029565,4036068,
there are others but these providide the bes overlap. 

so now my solutioin... i would either have my applet call a c++ platform
specific module (not sure applets are ever allowed to do this).

Start up a c++ platform specific program and pass it the information.

create a plugin/activex pair to be installed and called by the applet.. 

somehow open a direct output to a serial port... (like with portio, but
i would rather not go this way)

any help on tracking down how to do any of these or any other ideas
would be greatly appreciated!
