Getting the Printer status

[Lagi Pittas]

Hi

Is it possible (under windows at least) to find out if a printjob actually printed I.e can know if we are out of paper or if the printer is offline or not working?

I believe any errors encountered will be reported in "the result" if checked immediately after the "print" command.

Hi

Thanks Richard.

I placed put statements after the print command and after the close print command and "the result" is always blank whether i have the printer switched off or the cover open to simulate a paper out condition.
I have remote printing of receipts and I wanted to be able to tell the remote tablet if the print server had printed the documents or not.

I feel like a Dalek ready to take over the world and come up to some stairs.

It may be helpful to file a bug report for that with a recipe. That error info would seem critical, IMO, for many apps.

HI Richard

The recipe is 100% fails to report anything -- best type of bug in my opinion - you know where the Bomb is everytime so you don't use it.
Never filed a bug before will try and do it in the next day or so , I've got a deadline ready to hit ...

Thanks
