The code does all the normal stuff, pretty elementary java printing
(which as I mentioned, it works on a few machines). yet even after
dispose() and end() are called on the page and printjob it still shows
as spooling (which never ends) on a few machines.

I'm using 1.5.0 and also 1.4.2 on the machines....and the spooling
happens on both 1.5.0 and 1.4.2 machines (and it also works on a few
1.5.0 and 1.4.2 machines)

Any idea what may be causing this? BTW, using windows NT,2000,and XP
as the platforms.
