Subject: [PATCH] Ensure the SDK is initialised before we call getPrinterList()
 - Because getPrinterList() is static the SDK doesn't get initialised which
 means the call to printerIsReady() always fails with a "Cannot establish
 printer communication" error - This fix just ensures the SDK is initialised
