Hi

I'm printing some text on POS printer using batch program (copy File.txt LPT1 or COM1 (if serial printer) or NetworkPrinter). It works fine but I don't know how to detect if printer is ready (turned on, has paper,...). Is it possible to get this info prior to send data to printer?

Thank you for any tips
Mangro
