How about just not relying on the last used printer if it no longer 
exists in the JEdit print logic <g> ? Even if I use JEdit on a single OS 
JEdit should continue working correctly if I delete a printer at the OS 
level. Surely not doing so is a bug in JEdit. After all people do change 
printers on their computer systems.
