Tony,

The original printer driver timed out after a coupla seconds... which was
complained about (and patched in numerous files on BBSs and here), because most
programs couldn't deal with getting back an E$NotRdy error. And it really
goofed up people trying to single-sheet feed a printer.

So it was actually found that most people preferred no time out on the printer
driver. But you're right, it'd be good to have a way to check the status. Any
thoughts? Can't just check the busy line... would have to be a delay on that
status, etc. I can send you the original driver source if you wish.

Kev
