Getting information of a Zebra printer in LPT1

[jmgs98]

Is there a way to get information of the Zebra (96XiIIIplus) conected in LPT1 about out of paper, lack of ribbong, etc....using windows 2000 and VB6?

I tried several routines but not success!! just printer ready and once in while job error.

thanks,

Get a new cable so Windows can see the printer status signals clear. All should be well.

I have tried 3 cables too. Do you have an example of a routine for it?

Thanks!

jmgs98, have you read FAQ222-2244 yet?

Scroll up to the top of the page... See the FAQ tab? In it you will find a couple of Faq's on printers and code needed to communicate with them.

Good Luck
