NUMPRINTER()
Returns the number of parallel ports
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NUMPRINTER() --> 1.04nNumber
Returns
NUMPRINTER() returns the number of parallel printer interfaces installed
on the machine.
Description
Once you establish that multiple printer ports are installed, choose
which printer wants to use (e.g., dot-matrix or laser printer).
NUMPRINTER() also detects if a printer is not installed over the usual
printer interface, because there is no port available.
Note
. This function cannot determine if a printer is connected and
ready to operate.
Example
Determine if a printer interface is available:
? "There are " + STR(NUMPRINTER(), 2) + " Printer ports"
?? "available"
