Hi All,

Please review a small bugfix whereby it is seen that if we specify 
printer with space in its name, then
javax/print/PrintServiceLookup/GetPrintServices.java fails citing NPE.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8025439
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psadhukhan/8025439/webrev.00/

The NPE happens because
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/b1543c5eb8af/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/PrintServiceLookupProvider.java#l460
calls checkPrinterName() which checks it name contains letter or digit
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/b1543c5eb8af/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/PrintServiceLookupProvider.java#l433
and returns null if has spaces
so lookupPrintServices() gets null

Now, if we remove this <space> check then also, it will not work as
In system running with CUPS, refreshServices calls 
CUPSPrinter#getAllPrinters() which returns a set of printers. It seems 
it replaces " "  with "_" when populating the list
for e.g Ricoh Aficio MP 5002 printer name is sent as 
Ricoh_Aficio_MP_5002 and stored in the list so we cannot have <space> in 
printer name.

In Mac, it takes <sp> in printer name when we add printers but in linux, 
solaris it does not allow spaces in printer name during addition
so in the proposed fix, a check for <sp> is added to make it automatic 
pass for non-windows (CUPS) system.

Regards
Prasanta
