endless loop in printing Printable
Hi all,
I'm using PDFBox 1.8.2 to print a pdf to my printer using a certain tray.
However the following code (below) produces a pdf being sent to the printer
with an endless number of pages. Can anyone tell me what's causing this or
how to avoid this?
Btw if I use the PDDocument silentPrint() method this problem does not
occur and only 1 page is printed but then I cannot supply
PrintRequestAttributes to say to which tray to print.
Thanks for any help.

What is on those pages? Are they repeated or do they just contain garbage?

Hmmm, silentPrint and print are the very same from the printing POV. The only
difference is the print options dialog which is presented to the user before
printing. Saying that, I can't image that you are really doing the same.
