Hi all 

I search faster way to get the printer status.

If the printer is “Printer is not found, no connection” status,
Xbase++ status request take a long time, over 30 seconds.

Example:

FUNCTION TESTPrinter(cPrinter)
  oPrint :=XbpPrinter():new()
  oPrint:create( cPrinter )
  nRet := oPrint:printerStatus()  ß take 30 seconds 
  oPrint:destroy()
RETURN nRet

Is there any other faster options?
Regedit or Rundll32? 

Thanks
Michael

Hi Robin,

oXbp := XbpPrinter():new()
aPrinterNames := oXbp:list()

if empty(aPrinterNames)
	 no printers installed
endif

HTH, Joe
