There is some unused code that might be removed.

We always pass NULL to the notifyFirstPrinterChange as a
name of the printer, so we can remove the code which expects
a non-null value:

Fix request (13u) I'd like to port it to jdk13u, too. The regular nightly testing runs OK. Applies clean.

Fix Request (8u): Backport to 8u requested because it is a part of 8u301-oracle. Review approval: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2021-May/013793.html

Fix Request (11u) Should get backported for parity with 11.0.12-oracle. Applies cleanly.

It looks to me as if all this code was added to fix https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4744405 None of it looks to have changed since that JDK 6 fix which pre-dates open source + mercurial
