Try putting your printer offline and send a test page to it, and you will see the status change.

>>Thank you Mike. I will try again, but if I remember the status returned was IDLE for all printers (and some was out of paper or offline or disconnected). I thought the only way to get real status was to connect directly to printer. Don't you? Is your code by pass spooler? Is it works for you?
