Question:
How can I detect printing errors(like the printer is out of paper)
when printing from my application?
Answer:
Print jobs are generally added to the Windows print spooler, where
the job will be spooled to the printer at some future time (perhaps
even after your application has been shut down). Even if the spooler
is not used, it is the print driver that takes the responsibility of
dealing with errors at the printer level. The only way to handle
printer errors at application level is to print to a dedicated printer
through a custom device driver that is built for that specific
printer.
