EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When trying to print to a CUPS-Printer using JDK 1.8EA the PrintService will not find any Printer. Other Versions of Java (1.6, 1.7) will find and list them.

I used the Test-Program from Bug #6181488:
---------------- Services_getStatus.java ------------------------
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;

public class Services_getStatus {
     public static void main(String[] args){

     PrintService defServ = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
     System.out.println("Default PrintService: "+defServ);

     PrintService[] serv = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
     if (serv.length==0) {
         System.out.println("no PrintService found");
     } else {
         System.out.println("number of Services "+serv.length);
     }


     for (int i = 0; i<serv.length ;i++) {
         PrintServiceAttributeSet psa = serv[i].getAttributes();
         System.out.println("printer name "+(i+1)+" "+psa.get(PrinterName.class));
         System.out.println("accepting "+psa.get(PrinterIsAcceptingJobs.class));
     }

     }
}
-----------------------

-- Output with JDK1.8 --

Default PrintService: null
no PrintService found

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

-- Output with JDK 1.7 --

Default PrintService: null
number of Services 6

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u51

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile Code from above and run
java Services_getStatus
on a Linux-Machine with CUPS-Printers

or try to print from an Application like NetBeans (7.4)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A list of CUPS-Printers
(Note: due to Bug #6181488 the Default-Printer is null)
Default PrintService: null
number of Services 6
printer name 1 hp2055
accepting accepting-jobs
printer name 2 hp2055
accepting accepting-jobs
printer name 3 Kopierer
accepting accepting-jobs
printer name 4 Kopierer
accepting accepting-jobs
printer name 5 LaserJet
accepting accepting-jobs
printer name 6 LaserJet
accepting accepting-jobs

ACTUAL -
Default PrintService: null
no PrintService found


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
