But why do you need a separate CR? The "sun.java2d.print.minRefreshTime" is a java property, we can set it in this test to 1 minute or so, and suggest the user to wait 2 minutes, no?

Waiting for another refresh is to prevent false failures. If the list isn't updated in two refresh cycles, likely it won't be updated. In this case, the user will click Fail.
