I have to develop a program in C# so that when my Printer is out of paper, a message will appear in the form indicating the problem.
I’ve used the WMI Tools and i have succesfully created the program. The problem is, i can see only two states. “Idle” and “Printing”. Also the “WorkingOffline” works. When an “Out of Paper” error occurs, its still ” Printing” and then “Idle” again.
What I have noticed is that in Windows Printers (the window that shows you whats going on) its always OK. No errors in there. The error only comes up in a program made by Samsung. Do you have any ideas?

    The Samsung program communicates with the printer. Apparently the printer can send an “Out of paper” message, which the program receives and shows to you.

    You either can try to talk with the Samsung program, or with the printer itself (and mimic the program’s behavior).
