title: Java "Printer is not accepting jobs" old Brother printers
body: <p>I have client which has a problem with printing from JAVA applications, using old Brother printers. The exception he gets is "Printer is not accepting jobs". </p>
  
  <p>Other applications (not java applications) manage to print using these printers. He switched to a new printer (also Brother), without changing the driver and then it worked.</p>
  
  <p>The idea is that he cannot change all the printers, also he does not want to reinstall all of them, as he has a network of hundreds of computers and printers.</p>
  
  <p>I have read on different forums that there is a bug in java version 1.5 and 1.6, but this application only works with java 1.5 or above... so he cannot switch to java 1.4 (with java 1.4, the printing worked).</p>
  
  <p>Can you please help me somehow and give me some possible solution to this problem? </p>
