My understanding is that Java 1.1 supports printing.  Java 1.1 is already
supported in part in Netscape Communicator 4.0 PR4.  The applet would have
to be reworked to the Java 1.1 standard (I think some minor changes in
the event handling structure and recompiling using the 1.1 JDK.)

In other words, by the end of summer, this should be a pretty standard
feature.  Unless I'm misreading the Java 1.1 stuff.
