Estado de la impresora en windows xp

[serhasae]

Hola he estado mirando los hilos que hablan sobre saber el estado de una impresora, antes de imprimir y con lo que hay en los foros no me aclaro, ya que todos especifican pero ninguno da un ejemplo concreto que funcione.

A ver todo el mundo apunta a GetPrinter, he estado mirando una estructura nueva que sale para Nt o Xp que es el que se llama en SetPrinter, ya que Getprinter no la tiene. Supongo que habria que usar GetPrinter, luego SetPrinter y una vez la tengas poder mirar el estado de la impresora con el registro siguiente, pero voy algo perdido, alguna sugerencia o codigo que funcione. Gracias. Saludos.
