Is there some way to update the ObservableSet of Printers once the
Application is running? Calling Printer.getAllPrinters() always returns
the same OberservableSet and it does not change - ever. [1]
We have an JavaFx based application running under Windows 10/11 that is
used to print on wireless printers, that are not always available.
Having to restart the the application every time a printer goes away or
comes available is a serious pain for the users.
Is there any kind of workaround?
I doubt it will be fixed in the near future, since this comment is from
6 years ago [2]:
// This is static. Eventually I want it to be dynamic, but first
// it needs to be enhanced to only create new instances where
// there really has been a change, which will be rare.
