Hi and thanks in advance
If I use:
Code:
Dim wActPrinter As String:        wActPrinter = Application.ActivePrinter

If wActPrinter =""  Then 'I can request to install one, no problem

But If wActPrinter <>"" and is not connected, because for eg I am using a laptop in a Taxi and I do not have the possibility to print.

How can I get a message

Something like:

Code:
if  Application.ActivePrinter not Connected then MsgBox "No printer Connected"

My actual problem is:

If wActPrinter <> "" I do not get any error because I am sending copies to the queue of my printer
