Hello,

I'm new to this mailing list. My name is Bert Frees. I am the developer 
of odt2braille, the OpenOffice.org plugin for printing and exporting 
Braille. The website is http://odt2braille.sourceforge.net/index.html.

I'm trying to make this plugin available on the Mac, but I've been 
puzzling on a bug for some time now and I'm really stuck. I hope there 
is somebody on this list who is familiar with OOo on the Mac, and who 
knows what might be the problem.

I'm using javax.print.PrintServiceLookup 
<http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/print/PrintServiceLookup.html> 
to look up the default printer device. It works fine on Windows, but on 
Mac OS it causes OOo to crash. Also, I'm sure the problem is OOo-related 
because the code runs fine when it is not embedded in an OOo extension.

This is the code:

javax.print.PrintService[] printers = 
javax.print.PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();


Thanks,
Bert
