Windows Incompatible Status
If a printer status doesn’t have a corresponding Windows status the Error key will have
PRINTER_STATUS_NOT_AVAILABLE set and you need to evaluate the ExtendedError
key.
Statuses that have a representation within the Windows status may also have an ESC
ENQ 1 NAK value (see Table A-1) and will be stored in the printer ExtendedError key in
the registry and can be extracted with GetPrinterData using the ExtendedError key.
For the meanings of these NAK responses see the appropriate Technical Manual for your
printer, under the ESC ENQ 1 section.
Note • Any other Windows status may be used in the future, so mask away undefined bits
in your application!
