    Check if printer is busy [resolved]

    Now, before you all jump on me and say, "read the COM port of the printer", I must tell you that I am printing to a PDF printer. It is not really a printer at all, it creates PDFs.

    What I need to do is change a setting in an ini file for the PDF printer, print my stuff, and change it back. My problem is, if I change it back before the printing is done, the old settings are used. I thought about using Sleep, but I don't know if I should sleep 5 seconds or 10 minutes.

    [EDIT] I am just looping looking for the new file. Once it is there, then i know the printer is done. duh
