[net.micro.pc] How can I know a printer is on/off in dBASE III

I would like to know how I can make a dBASE III program that is able to
know whether or not the printer is attached, on or off, etc. It is of
course possible to ask the user of the dBASE III program if the printer
is ready. It would however be much nicer if the user would not have to
be asked. (The user could also be wrong when saying the printer is
ready).

Thanks,
