check for network printer

[rhenninger]

I am writing a VI that prints it's front panel, but before I print it I
want to check if there is a printer connected to the network. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Robert

Well I would say use the System Exec VI and send it the command "ping
"
but under Winx, the Sys Exec does not wait till the command completes. You
may have
to wrap this up in a bat file or some such.

There are most likely DLLs from MS that will accomplish this , but I do not
know what they may be
