I have problems using the printer from within a TurboPascal v5 program.
If the printer isn't on, or out of paper, any writing to it results in
the program crashing without pardon.

 I use the {$I-} - {$I+}-options when assigning/rewriting, but it does 
not seem to help. Do you have to do such a check for every single 
"writeln" directed to the printer? Or is there a better way to stop the 
Big Crash from occuring?

Thanks in advance for any pointers on how to solve this,

Tobbe
