The print service did not find an error message

Question

I started creating a simple java application to print the string "Hello World" with the following code:

import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.print.*; public class HelloWorldPrinter implements Printable, ActionListener { public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page) throws PrinterException { if (page > 0) { /* We have only one page, and 'page' is zero-based */ return NO_SUCH_PAGE; } /* User (0,0) is typically outside the imageable area, so we must * translate by the X and Y values in the PageFormat to avoid clipping */ Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g; g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY()); /* Now we perform our rendering */ g.drawString("Hello world!", 100, 100); /* tell the caller that this page is part of the printed document */ return PAGE_EXISTS; } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(); job.setPrintable(this); boolean ok = job.printDialog(); if (ok) { try { job.print(); } catch (PrinterException ex) { /* The job did not successfully complete */ } } } public static void main(String args[]) { UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE); JFrame f = new JFrame("Hello World Printer"); f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);} }); JButton printButton = new JButton("Print Hello World"); printButton.addActionListener(new HelloWorldPrinter()); f.add("Center", printButton); f.pack(); f.setVisible(true); } } 

but I get the message "No print service"!

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and the java version is 1.7.0_25.

How can I get rid of this warning?
