Windows is designed so that you don't need to do that. If the printer is not ready then Windows will save the data in a spool until the printer is ready. Typically the status of a printer is only available to the device driver. Older printers do not even have a way to report status except that there is a wire (physical metal wire) that could indicate out-of-paper. So perhaps the priner device driver is not properly configure to allow Wiindows to know if the printer is ready or perhaps the printer is not configured properly.
