>Please, how can I test printer status? I learn that PRINTERSTATUS() always return .T., if the printer is installed in windows... I'd like to know when it is turned on or off.

Hi Claudio,

AFAIK, you can't without directly interfacing with the printer port. For the details check out Thread#268961, beginning on 9/25/99, under Win32 and other APIs. The exchange between Ed Rauh and myself explains exactly why this is difficult, if not impossible.
