I need to programmatically update the printer status in the Printers and Faxes Dialog in Windows XP.
The printer status there never changes from ready.
When a print is sent to the printer, the print goes to the spooler,
and then sent to the hardware driver. After 45 seconds a message box
indicates that the printer is offline, and the print queue status is Error-Printing.
My program can tell that the hardware printer is offline, and I would like
to set the string in the Printers and Faxes Dialog.
