- Hello.
-
- I'm doing a fprintf (stdprn,...) in program. The only problem is that if the
- printer isn't on-line, I get this annoying message on the screen. The message
- is annoying because my program is a screen oriented program.
-
- Is there any way to trap this fault so that my program can display the message
- (or my own message) on the screen when this happen? I've been looking in the
- FAQ, but could not find it.
-
- I'm programming in C (MS 5.1) under DOS 5.0 on a 386/33 if that helps.
-
- Thanks in advance.
