Default How to Detect Printer


Hi All,

I've got a custom form that allows the user to map the form data to a Word
doc that is then printed on the machine's default printer. It's worked well
but I've run into a snag. When the user attempts to print when they are not
connected to a printer, the whole thing bombs and the other built in
function, mailing the Word doc, won't work.

In essence, I think I need a way to programmatically check for the existence
of a printer before allowing the print function to run. Any tips?

Thanks & Ciao,

Tony
