printer status in lookout

[Ian_h1]

how can I Programmatically get the status of a printer connected to the LPT port.
what I need to do, is to confirm is that a page has been printed and if the printer has run out of paper or has a error

Hi,

There is no way to programmatically get the status of a printer in Lookout directly. What you could try to do though, would be to use the ASCII object and try to implement this communication yourself, you might be able to find a way to.
