How do I get a list of installed printers?

I'm searching for a possibility to get a list of installed printers. I'm using JDK 1.6 with a Windows operating system. Does anyone know a solution?

Thank you in advance.

Just wanted to add a little snippet:

import javax.print.*;  class Test {      public static void main (String [] args)     {         PrintService[] printServices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);         System.out.println("Number of print services: " + printServices.length);          for (PrintService printer : printServices)             System.out.println("Printer: " + printer.getName());      } }
