Hi, I'm trying to select a printer in the system printers collection. I'm able to do this. However, if the printer is a network printer and happens that this printer is not on or not ready, I won't be able to know and I try to print a document I will get an error. Is there anyway that I can check the status for the printer that the user select is ready or not?
