/** A simple utility class for printing an arbitrary
 *  component in JDK 1.3. The class relies on the 
 *  fact that in JDK 1.3 the JComponent class overrides
 *  print (in Container) to automatically set a flag
 *  that disables double buffering before the component
 *  is painted. If the printing flag is set, paint calls 
 *  printComponent, printBorder, and printChildren.
 *
 *  To print a component, just pass the component to 
 *  PrintUtilities2.printComponent(componentToBePrinted).
