This is probbaly true. Both v1.1.8 and v1.3.1 have been EOL'ed for years.
Sun is currently at v1.5.

Are you sure you are running the same driver version on both 1.1 and 1.2?

You can do a basic check what you are running with:

java -fullversion

On this box, I have:

[j:\tmp]java -fullversion
java.exe full version "J2RE 1.3.1 IBM build co131-20030618"

which has no problem bringing up the Polarbar print dialog.

v1.2 ships with something newer which I have not yet tested with Polarbar.

Keep in mind that the failure is in native code, so a printer driver
problem is always a possibility.
