Description oliverrettig 2017-05-09 20:12:20 UTC

The documentations says that at first PrintProvider in the lookup are used. But the implementation of PrintProvider is different. If in the active TopComponent at minimum one JComponent is found with the ClientProperty PrintManager.PRINT_PRINTABLE is set to TRUE, than PrintProvider implementations in the Lookup are ignored.

This behavioir seem not to be useful.

I suggest to change the implementation to fit with the documentation.
