Answer 1

You can use PrinterState attribute if it is supported by your printer.

Something like this:

PrintServiceAttributeSet printServiceAttributes = selectedService.getAttributes();
PrinterState printerState = (PrinterState) printServiceAttributes.get(PrinterState.class);
       if (printerState != null){
          System.out.println(printerName + " is online");
       } 
       else {
          System.out.println(printerName + " is offline");
       }
