I've been looking this bug for the entire day, nearly.

There's an existing test in JDK source code that can be used to reproduce the problem. The test is `test/jdk/java/awt/print/PrinterJob/PageRanges.java`.

The test is supposed to be a jtreg manual test, but it cannot be run as such at the moment. It's tracked in [JDK-8320677](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8320677).

The id of the current bug, 8297191, should be added to the list of bugs in the `@bug` tag in the test `java/awt/print/PrinterJob/PageRanges.java`.

The test is runnable as a standalone application using `java test/jdk/java/awt/print/PrinterJob/PageRanges.java`. This is how I tested initially.

However, I've written my own automated test which verifies whether all the expected pages are printed because using the manual test was too tedious.
