Trying to print to causes:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException: null attribute

StwGuiWV.java contains:
434            try {
435                pj.setPrintService(services[0]);
436                pj.setJobName("Druckausgabe");
437                pj.setPrintable(printable);
438                if (pj.printDialog(aset)==false) {
439                    return;
440                }
441                pj.print(aset);
442            } catch (java.awt.print.PrinterException pe) { ... }


javax.print.PrintService[] services contains two valid network-printers:
hp laserjet 2200d
Lexmark c543dn

It seems that in PrintServise, the orientation of the pages are undefined.
Neither explicit nor implicit. 

Ports related are:
/var/db/pkg/jdk-1.6.0.3p4_15/
/var/db/pkg/cups-base-1.4.3
/var/db/pkg/cups-client-1.4.3
/var/db/pkg/cups-image-1.4.3
/var/db/pkg/cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_6


>How-To-Repeat:
Set up an cups printing-environment containing only network-printers.
Try to print to them (see code above).
>Fix:
Define page-orientation in pps-Fils or teach cups or java-vm to provide a default.
