Dear all,
   	Is it possible to determine whether or not a printer on the stdprn 
stream is on-line or not before sending any information to it?  I cannot 
get around the problem that the operating system cuts in whenever the printer 
is off-line and leaves an unsightly message in the middle of my applications.
		    
    		   Any thoughts greatly appreciated...
