Hello,

I try to print from a Java application running under Windows XP but sometimes my printer lookup (PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService()) returns null. But there is a Windows default printer installed and I can print from other (Windows) applications. The error does not occur often, only from time to time.
Does anyone have an explanation or fix for this?

Thanks & best regards,
Haiko
