The list of available printers is read only once during OOo's life time, that is
true. The reason is that reading that list can - unfortunately - take from a few
10 milliseconds over multiple seconds on networked systems to indefinetly on
misconfigured systems (actually printer discovery is run an own thread because
it can take so arduously long). Even more unfortunate there is no method of
getting informed when the printer list has changed. Printing on Unix still is a
rather sub par affair still.
That being said we could of course get the printer list every time we need a new
printer object, however I'm not sure I want to do that for the time penalties
involved.
