Hi,

Afaik there are only limited printing support for Linux.

Q: Why is the Print menu item disabled in Eclipse on Motif?
A: Printing on Motif requires that Xprint be installed on your machine.
A good FAQ regarding Xprint can be found at
http://xprint.mozdev.org/docs/Xprint_FAQ.html

Q: Why is the Print menu item disabled in Eclipse on GTK?
A: Printing on GTK has not been implemented yet. You can use the External
Tools support in Eclipse to print files using lpr or some other printing
utility.

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba
