[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [9] RFR JDK-6575247: Banner checkbox in PrinterJob print dialog doesn't work

[Prasanta Sadhukhan]

Hi Phil,

I have modified the code to check if job-sheets is supported and then 
only proceed to print the banner page.
Also, rectified the jobTitle and banner confusion by adding jobsheet check.
Also added the same code in UnixPrintJob even though I found its 
printExecCmd() does not get executed in linux and solaris
PSPrinterJob's printExecCmd() is executed instead. In mac, neither 
UnixPrinterJob#printExecCmd() nor PSPrinterJob#printExecCmd() gets executed.

Tested on ubuntu and solaris 11 with the fix and banner page is printed 
with the fix. In mac, cover page gets printed without any change.
