Dear Sir,

I had designed my own printer setup dialog box. In Windows Xp if printer is
not connected then it gives error report.

Is any method to find printer is connected and ready ?

Please help me

Now I am doing same way ?

But is any sample application is available through which I can understand
How to check printer status using WinAPI.

I also know that using PRINT_INFO_2 Type we can find but the sample is
required.
