Detect a printer with paperclips

[Vicente Rico]

Hello!!!

In my program, i use paperclips. But, when a user don´t have a printer installed in the system, the program exits.
Is there any form , i can detect if the user has a printer installed???  Thanks!!!

Hi,

SWT offers methods to check if a printer is installed or not... e.g.

if (Printer.getPrinterList().length == 0)
{
   // no printer installed
}

Maybe it would be better to use s.th. like this to avoid NullPointerException

if (Printer.getDefaultPrinterData() == null)
{
    // no printer installed
    // From swt help: Returns a PrinterData object representing the default printer or
    // null if there is no printer available on the System.
}
