[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Printer Error

r1marg@VAX1.CC.UAKRON.EDU (Timothy Margush) (08/22/90)

I have a simple basic program that prints a report.  If the printer goes off-
line (out of paper or manually) the program halts with an error message 
indicating a device timeout error occurred after about 1 minute.  Can I
eliminate this error without using the on error facility of basic?
