The exact path name not predictable any more. There is a random element. IIRC, there were a number of IE/Netscape bugs that involved planting a script file in a guessable location on the victim machine, and then executing it as if it were from the local machine.

Sockets, sure, but I thought the Print API was locked out,
except by use of the PrintService** (had never bothered checking it though, and frustratingly - do not even have a printer to test my own JWS example!).

I don't have a printer either (at least not in this (constituent) country). I guess I could use a print-to-file printer driver.

Anyway, if you have the JDK source, deploy/src/plugin/share/classes/sun/plugin/security/ActivatorSecurityManager.java. The override of SecurityManager.checkPrintJobAccess first checks super, and if that fails opens a dialog. It confused me the first time I saw it as I was expecting a security exception but got a deadlock.
