Cancel if printer disconnected

[Genx]

... if a printer is disconnected temporarily due to a wireless network crash or just a general crash of some type whether it be printer or something else... filemaker will still try and send a print job for about 5 minutes before it gives up... is there someway to check if the printer is responding before printing?

cheers, genx

As far as FMP is concerned, if it can spool the job to disk then there is no error. Passing the spooled job to the printer is an OS-level task and I don't think FMP can tap into that.
