detect out of paper/printer off

Comment:

updated a computer to win2000 and now can't detect the out of paper/printer off error. The program opens LPT1 as a file then writes to it. Under win98/me we get an error if the printer runs out of paper or if the printer is turned off. Does anyone know how i can detect these error conditions under win2000?
