If a webpage contains a java applet that has a java.awt.Canvas, when the applet
is printed the Canvas will come out blank (although the rest of the Java GUI
is printed okay).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to groupboard.com/demo/
2. Draw a picture
3. press the PRINT button on the browser

Actual Results:  
The whiteboard canvas comes out blank, although the rest of the java gui is
printed okay

Expected Results:  
It should print the contents of the whiteboard canvas!

This is not a bug in the java jdk - I can use the PrintJob class to print the
contents of the Canvas with no problem.

Tested using JSRE1.3.1

"This is not a bug in the java jdk - I can use the PrintJob class to print the

I think printing the contents with PrintJob is another thing (also i'm not so
fimilar with Java), but have you already tried with another browser?

The same bug is present in both IE and Netscape 4 on Windows. The Linux
version of Netscape seems okay.

Ok, then this isn't a bug of mozilla, it seems to be then a bug of the JDK. You
should report this to Sun. To the thing that it works on Linux: Perhaps you have
another JDK on Linux (and the system internals are other than in Windos).
