[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Request for review: : [NEW BUG] Printer - tempfile having incorrect extension

[Phil Race]

Do you have a test that shows the problem ?
In any case there should be a regression test with the fix.
It looks like you must be using a javax.print DocPrintJob and
some DocFlavor that does not get translated into Postscript,
such as raw text .. or .. something that's already postscript ?
If the filters depend on the extension, then I'm not sure if
removing the .ps extension is 100% safe for that latter case.

Also, have you tried this on OS X or Solaris 10 ?
