Check if the printer is turned on

[angelo2449]

Hi guys,

How can I check if the printer connected to the PC is online? (on).

Thank you.

Are you trying to do it programmatically or is this something the user needs to be checking manually? You could use the PrinterDialog statement to open the default Windows printer dialog window and check manually.

Programmatically, you can use the OpenPrinter or EnumPrinters functions. Just remember to use the ClosePrinter function if you open a handle to the printer.

If you get stuck, just let us know and we can help you out.
