Hence why I suggested "if not pinit then initPrinter() end if" lines.

If that was meant to be a joke, I'm not laughing, otherwise frankly I'm
gobsmacked at your attitude to error handling.

No need to. Just add vPrinterName="CRUD" and/or pname=0 and ensure it gives
reasonable errors, and/or as you say pop-up suitable dialogues, at the point of
printing, without breaking/interrupting apps that do not use the printer.

Then add a "newPrinter(<what it is for you>,x)" call and test that it works
again. In fact it is no help whatsoever to meddle with your setup.
