Java APIs

Does anyone know if there are any issues with using a jdk older than 1.5 on Windows 2000 when trying to print to a HP4100 series printer.

We have a remote printservice which runs on windows 2000 sp4 and seeem to find problems printing on one computer out of 300+ similar computers which use the same jdk and the same version of our printservice module.

Any usggestions will be most welcome, as it appears in jdk 1.5 we cant reproduce the error - but this is probably because of its better error handling rather than any fault with the older jdk.
