org.eclipse.swt.printing.Printer writes only blank pages after the Windows security updates on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/windows-message-center#1574. (Dated March 18, 2021 07:00 PM PT) --- Printer.java ... Printer p = new Printer(printerData) ... // start job GC gc = new GC(p); // draw on GC gc.dispose(); ... // end job --- Eventually, after p.endJob(), the printer will write only blank pages. This only happened after the mentioned Windows update. Is there a way to resolve this issue without applying the out-of-band security patches released by Windows?
Additional Info: The issue seems to happen when the following methods are called while drawing on the GC object. org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image#getImageData() * If at any point this method is called on an Image that is drawn to the GC, the printout will be blank. * This seems to contradict the documentation that modifying the ImageData will not affect the Image. * Even if the method is simply called, and the returned ImageData object is not modified, the output of the printer will still be blank.
