Installing openjdk over Sun Java 6 stops printing of PDF files

[Phil Race]

Printing questions are best directed to 2d-dev.

There should be no difference between "Sun Java" and OpenJDK in the 
printing implementation.
If you see a difference perhaps its down to the specific version of "Sun 
Java", and probably
updating to 6 update 11 is worth trying. Perhaps you did this but I 
can't tell
since you didn't say. "would not print" is really too vague for me to 
usefully comment further.

Printing a PDF file is basically a matter of forwarding the PDF to CUPS, 
if it says it can handle PDF.
So it should be independent of anything other than your CUPS 
configuration, and hence I can't
think how that would have changed matters. But OpenJDK is a source-level 
'product', so its
at least possible if unlikely, that there's a problem specific to the 
binary provided by your distro.

If you need further details on this please post directly to 2d-dev, as 
this list (discuss) is
for more general discussions, not technology specific bug discussions.
