Description
The UI of the manual test test/jdk/java/awt/print/RemotePrinterStatusRefresh/RemotePrinterStatusRefresh.java is hard to use.

First of all, the UI comes up clipped even in the case where you have no printers at all, test instructions are not completely seen. After you press "Printer Added/Removed" button, the button panel moves below the window boundary.

The test depends on the timeout between printer list updates. There's no way to know whether the list is already updated or not. So the test should allow pressing "Printer Added/Removed" several times so that the user can see whether the list is updated or not.

Even more: the test could automatically compare the lists of printers. The changes to the lists could be highlighted. This will facilitate the work of the tester.

Does this need a review for 8u or is it a clean backport? If review is required, please post patches for review to the jdk8u mailing list and don't add jdk8u-fix-request until review is complete. Thanks.
