Tony - what's happening is that the printer driver doesn't abort... it simply
waits until the printer is ready for the next character. Which could be
forever, of course. I suppose the driver could/should be rewritten to handle
some kind of ready? statcall (which would have to wait a second or two just in
case the printer is still busy, before returning the status).

Right now, I can think of two ways to handle it. One, fork another process
either to do the printing, which you can abort if it doesn't signal you that
it's started, or two, you could present a dialog box with "Please make sure
your printer is online" type of thing?
