Is the Mac running 10.5? http://developer.apple.com /releaseno tes/Java/J avaLeopard RN/ JavaLeo pardRN.pdf
If so, there looks to be a work arround.
Description:
When attempting to print to a "Shared Printer" (instead of a "Bonjour Printer" or a manually added
printer), the print job would be bounced to the default printer, or if no printers were set, it would be
lost.
Resolution:
This issue has been resolved. Print jobs sent to printers shared though other computers now correctly
print.

Description:
Shared CUPS printers are now available to Java Printing, provided they are added in the Mac OS X
"Printing & Fax" Preference Pane, regardless of any characters in the name.
Resolution:
This problem is now fixed.
