Finding Printers

[Walter Vaughan]

Can someone test this code on their box?

No matter how I try I cannot install a printer such that the JavaVM can find it.
If it does work, could you report what java version you used (diablo, ports) and 
  what version of 6 or 7, and how you installed the printer?

import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
public class ListPrinters {
          public static void main(String[] args) {
                  String sPrinterName = null;
                  PrintService[] services =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
                  for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
                          PrintServiceAttribute attr =
services[i].getAttribute(PrinterName.class);
                          sPrinterName = ((PrinterName)attr).getValue();
                          System.out.println("Found printer: " + sPrinterName +
"\n");
                  }
                  System.out.println("Finshed\n");
          }
}

The above code runs fine on sunJDK on Ubunutu box :( which means production will 
have to be Ubuntu unless I can figure it out how to get the Java vm to recognize 
installed printers.

Thanks for any help.
