I've been thinking about it, too.

No, it can't be automated completely: the tester has to click Print / OK button in the Print dialog.

Yes, other aspects of the test can be automated. The test code already detects a failure and reports it on the screen or on paper, thus the test can fail automatically if a failure condition is found.

However, the first part where it paints on the screen can be fully automated. It could be moved to an independent test.

These improvements to the test can be combined with fixing [JDK-8333026](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8333026), or the test can be updated separately.

I'll submit a new bug to track this activity. Thank you for bringing it up.
