CheckPrt is a little tool to check in a script-file if a printer is 

available.

So you save the long, long ,long , loooooong time it takes to show 

you the 'Printer trouble ....' Requester.

Here a little scriptfile, showing the usage :


 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    failat 10   ; CheckPrt returns 10 if there is no printer available  |
|                  and 0 is there is one                                 |
|    CheckPrt                                                            |
|    IF warn                                                             |
|        echo " Sorry, there is no printer available "                   |
|        echo " "                                                        |
|    ELSE                                                                |
|        echo " You are a winner. Your printer seems to be available"    |
|        echo " "                                                        |
|    ENDIF                                                               |
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

ATTENTION :

        CheckPrt only works with printers using the parallel-port of

        your Amiga. !!!!


I've tested CheckPrt with 3 different kind of printers without any

trouble.

If something's going wrong, if you have any  criticism, error-reports, 

gifts or something else write to
