Which make and model of printer.....?

Some discontinued models do not have this ability in their drivers.

Sorry for the confusion..
The driver, language monitor etc is made by me..
Problem is, I cant find any documentation on how to report to Windows that
ex the printer is out of paper.... do I broadcast some kind of
WM_OUT_OF_PAPER message to all top level windows or what ?

TIA
