Hi again !

Generally, my printer turns to a "no-action" status when it cannot print. In such a state, anything regarding that printer hangs... even every printer dissapears from Start-->Settings-->Printer (I'm using Win98).

The problem is that I'm develping an application that, apart from many other things, gets information about printers constantly (just like Printer.ColorMode), and when the printer hangs, the application also does (for example, when requesting Printer.ColorMode).

How could I do to determine if the call to an instruction does not respond within a certain interval of time, to do another thing (like ending the application)? Or any other solution?

Thank you !!
