      Description

        JDK-8153732 implemented polling for remote printers.
        That bug description also mentions watching the registry for changes and links to the article which describes the method yet it does so in terms of WMI. Using WMI is not necessary to watch for the registry updates.

        It is possible to replace polling mechanism with registry change notifications. If the registry at HKCU\Printers\Connections is updated, refresh the list of print services.
