sendPrintFromScreen problem

Hi all,
 I  try to print pdf with sendPrintFromScreen service, but the sendPrintFromScreen service cannot find my windows shared printer (from another local pc) with given printer name. When i looked at the code (OutputServices.java:165) i found this comments:
            //PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(psInFormat, psaset); // TODO: selecting the printer by URI seems to not work
            PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(psInFormat, null);
Do someone knows what is the reason for not finding the printer and is it related to this comments ?
 How can i solve this problem ?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Tim

Right now you have to configure the printer in the box in which OFBiz is 
running and use that name (the printer can of course be a a lan printer 
phisically connected to a different box).
