As Andrew wrote: The usual logic, where Introspection finds the methods 
from all supported interfaces, requires XTypeProvider.

From those old times there is another macro that must have been working,
and it doesn't (work or use CoreReflection):

function PrinterNameListNew
        ps = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.PrinterServer")
        dbgM(ps)
        dbgP(ps)
        dim xps as object
        xps = ps.QueryInterface("com.sun.star.awt.XPrinterServer")
        if NOT IsNull(xps) then
                dbgM(xps)
        else
                msgbox "NULL"
        endif
        PrinterNameListNew = ps.getPrinterNames()
end function

In fact, this will work in 3.4, where the "Type" parameter for 
queryInterface can be given as a string (issue 116184).
