JavaTester.java:127: error: cannot find symbol printf("Your table is ready");

Applies to both printf(String) and Console.printf(String) am I missing some basic syntax here? or is this a bug?

You need to do console.printf with a lowercase c. The printf method isn't static. I think they already created a variable for you called console.
