Comment 12 for bug 156191

I observed same problem on my Gutsy 7.10 installation. The printing of Java applications doesn't work. It's a rather annoying problem.

System: x86 on a IBM ThinkPad T43p.

How to reproduce: Open any Java program (I tried Freemind and some others) and try to print.

Expect: Printing dialog appear on GUI

Actual: Nothing happens on GUI (no error message), however, I found following exception text appeared on console:

I've tried tips from http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FreeMind_on_Linux#Why_do_I_get_a_.22No_print_service_found.22_whenever_I_attempt_to_print.3F
 , but no help.

If you need more info please let me know, thanks!
