Exception thrown but nothing in message.log



I'm getting a exception thrown when trying to print to a shared printer from NetBeans. I realize that the root problem is NetBeans, not Ubuntu. The reason I'm posting here is that the error message says I should see something in messages.log.

I did have some content in messages.log but wanted to get a clean, one attempt -> one error, log to attach to the issue I filed at netbeans.org. So removed messages.log and then created an empty version with vi. Now when I attempt to print from NB I get the same exception but nothing is being written to messages.log. The permissions on the file I created are '-rw-r--r--'. I tried 'chmod +w messages.log' but the permissions are not changed. Interestingly (to my newbie brain, anyway) 'chmod +x messages.log' _did_ change the permissions.

So my main question is... did I screw something up with how I approached messages.log? Or is this all a NB issue?

And secondly, why can I add execute permissions but not write permissions?

TIA,
Bill--
