public class RemoteDiscoverer extends Object
A class used to discover remote Link-OS printers connected via web sockets to a Zebra serlvet. There must be a server running a Zebra Web Service for this class to work.
If you want to discover locally connected IP printers, see NetworkDiscoverer

      Returns:
      list of Link-OS printers currently connected via a web socket connection to the servlet.
      Throws:
      ConnectionException - if there is a problem connecting to the Zebra Weblink servlet.
