I'm not altogether surprised: to complexity of getting these details for 
any accessible printer no matter where it is and how it is accessed by 
the requesting system or where the printer server that supports it is 
located.

There is a standard protocol (IPP) that can be used to get hold of paper 
sizes and printer capabilities, and its even supported by UNIX, Linux, OSX 
and Windows (post XP) for remote job submissions. While it could 
certainly be used to get these details from a remote printer or print 
server, its not at all obvious whether it can be used by an application 
to interrogate a local print spooler (on the same machine): even CUPS 
print servers, which do use IPP to talk to remote printers, don't 
necessarily allow an application to ask them about their printers and 
their capabilities. Are there any Java classes that support IPP?
