pGetPrtInfo Status is always 0
Question:
I think there is a bug with the extender. I've got the code as follows:MyPrinters = pGetPrtList(0) NumberofMyPrinters = ItemCount(MyPrinters, @TAB) For x = 1 To numberofmyprinters item = ItemExtract(x, Myprinters, @TAB) type = pGetPrtInfo(item, 17) Display(20,item, type) NextThis code displays a message for each installed printer. My problem is the status returned from the pGetPrtInfo is always 0. Interestingly if I go to the printers control panel I can see that the status of one printer is "Printer not found on server, unable to connect". But it still returns 0.. If I try to print to it I get an error right away. Surely the status must be updated?
What do you think?
Answer:
This is not a bug. My understanding is that you can only check the status when the printer is actually trying to print. Otherwise you just get status = 0.The status of printers and print jobs are updated by the Win32 Spooler during the despool of a print job. At all other times, when that printer is not despooling and reports no state information, the printer is considered to be ready and idle.
