get printer status............

[ani_ikram]

before sending info for printing using CPrintDialog how to check whether selected printer(using printer dialog) is ready to print(attached to server) . i m using following code for printdialog call and getting selected printer name but unable to check status of selected print is there some method ??

bool bNewDlg = true;
// if no special printer-dialog is given, we take the standard printer-dialog
if (m_printDlg == NULL)
{
m_printDlg = new CPrintDialog(FALSE,PD_DISABLEPRINTTOFILE);
bNewDlg = false;
}

ASSERT(m\_printDlg != NULL);

if (PrinterName == NULL) {

	// which printer ist desired, and how much copies?
	if (m\_printDlg->DoModal() == IDCANCEL) return (-1);
	m\_hprinter = m\_printDlg->GetPrinterDC();

	
	
	CString cs;
cs= m\_printDlg->GetDeviceName();
 // AfxMessageBox(cs);
  m\_hprinter=m\_printDlg->GetPrinterDC();

  if(m\_hprinter==NULL)
return;
	m\_numCopies = m\_printDlg->GetCopies ();

What about calling GetPrinter(hPrinter, 2, ...)?
