    krish,

    lookin up for a printer and then using its services entirely depends on the underlying network operating system u r using.

    once u know the operating system and directory services thats comes with the OS u can pick the appropriate serviice provider for JNDI lookups.

    for a list of service proovider(analogous to JDBC driver) u can go to -

    http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/serviceproviders.html

    hope this helps
