Delay in finding in findprinter function

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have already posted about the delay while printing. I have checked the code 
and found the findprinter function takes lot of time and one more thing it 
takes time in case of offline printers connected to that particular machine(Eg 
network printers, which(machine) is not switch on). How can we solve the issue

I am unable to reproduce this error on my end.  Can you provide specific 
details about the types printers you have attached?  How many, etc?

Hi Tres
 6 printers are in my machine one is local priter which is a dotmatrix printer and 3 are virtual printers like "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" and two networked printers which are dotmatrix. if one of the network printer is offline this issue occurs.
OS: Windows XP2

The code that cycles through printers just gets the printer name.  It's unusual 
that this step would be so slow.  The only way I can think to circumvent it is 
to use the default printer by calling "applet.findPrinter();".  This should 
skip the logic that searches through all the printers, but would require the 
printer to be the default printer on that workstation.

The only other solution I can think up is to force a timeout on each printer 
request.  This would require additional threading and some default 
wait()/timeout values.  This is much more work.  If this "timeout" is desired, 
please email me tres.finocchiaro@gmail.com and I'll be happy prepare a quote.
