I am getting the same problem on Mac OSX 10.6.  Calling 
PrintPreview.setPrintJob(PrintJob) just produces a blank screen.  The same test 
case works fine on Windows.  There are no errors in the print preview window.  
Our code seems to be running fine with no errors in the logs.

What happens if you explicitly call setPrinterData on the preview before 
setting the print job?

Hi all,

I think I've found a workaround!
We had the same Problem on Mac OSX 10.5 and 10.6.
We then took the examples and tried them. Same effect. Snippet7 for example 
brought up a white dialog with no content being drawn.

Setting printerdata before preview did not help. It still did not help when a 
new printer was explicitely installed and selected. (Thought it could be caused 
by a missing default printer...).

That's not it!

The Problem is obviously related to the GC (method getGC()) which is created 
from the printer. A played around with different alternatives. I got one 
running!

Patch is attached.

Have fun!
