print dialog - show printer status plz

[Arioch]

in Windows when the same printer is attacchedto different USB ports (inevitable when using notebook) it gets into system as different instances, few different printers.

so it becomes crucial to select attached printer of many, when printing.

In windows Vista/7 when one opens Start/Devices and Printers - there it shown which printers are attached and which are not.
Both by graying out the detached ones and by text status string.
MS Office 2010 also shows the status in printing tab.

However the older styled dialogs, like PDF Xchange and like Ms Office 2003 only shows spooler status for selected printer, which is the same "ready" for attached and detached printers.

Since we can not re-make Windows, then i ask you to remake printer choosing section, so that user would easily see which printer of its many clones is attached right now.
I also ask for a prompt to be implemented, if user tries to print on detached/offline printer, so he would not expect sheet of paper coming out of real device.

Hi again Arioch,

And thank you for this suggestion. I have created a ticket for our developers:
#1156: Viewer FR: Show Printer Status (online or offline)
So that they could include this in our ToDo list for inclusion in ver3/5 of our products.

Best,
Stefan
