Printer name mixup when one printer name is a subset of another

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Map two printers on your machine where one is a subset of the other, like 
"Eltron LP2348" and "Desk10 Eltron LP2348"
2.  Try to choose the smaller printer name, "Eltron LP2348" in the example above
3.  Try sending a command or file to the printer

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to be able to choose the exact printer I selected, but the other 
printer is assigned to the applet and gets the file in it's print queue.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 1.1.7 on windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.

I see some unused flags in the printServiceMatcher.java file that appear to 
control this behavior, is there a way to access them from Javascript so I can 
specify exact printer name matches only?

I think the problem lies in printServiceMatcher.java
u can edit line :
60: Pattern p1 = Pattern.compile("^" + printerName + "$", 
Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
61: Pattern p2 = Pattern.compile("^" + printerName, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);

76: partial = ps;

96: return partial;

-------------------------

I haven't try this code yet, bet imho this is where the problem lies.
because with \b you will get only word boundaries, which will have no big 
difference for p1 and p2. we might as weel just used p3 for this purpose.

Could not reproduce this bug.  Case sensitivity matters and will make the 
non-exact rank higher.  Perhaps this should be changed?

Here's my log file:
