How does FMX check the printer status

How does FMX check the printer status, the GetPrinter of FMX.Printer cannot be used?

Not really sure I understand the question.

 

The only GetPrinter() I see in the FMX.Printer unit is the getter method for the TPrinter.Printers[] property.

 

Are you looking for an FMX equivalent of the VCL TPrinter.GetPrinter() method, which outputs device info and a Handle to the currently active Printer?  On Windows, the FMX.Printer.Win.TPrinterWin class has such a method.

 

What status are you looking for exactly?  Please clarify.

Yes looking for an FMX equivalent of the VCL TPrinter.GetPrinter() method,
I  before tried FMX.Printer, FMX.Printer.Win  , but they couldn’t compile.
before examples are also VCL, how to try FMX is not
Sorry for my bad English, I can’t express the problem clearly, but it is probably the case

Please elaborate.  What code did you try, and what error(s) did you get?
