In MATLAB 6.0 (R12) on UNIX, why is the print dialog not populated when I try to print from the Java Editor?

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
In the 1.1.8 version of Java, support for printing is quite limited. This includes basic functionality such as having a default printer selected or pre-populating the field with a list of all recognized printers.
Consequently, there is no option from within MATLAB to resolve this. We recognize that this is a basic feature and a request to add some option for populating this field has been forwarded to our development staff to be addressed in a future release of MATLAB.
