Get Print port status

["Victor Chen" <dcesh@public.sta.net.cn>]

I want to get the printer port status (online or offline) , so I use WIN32 API , But get error on "GetPrinter" : it is said the data buffer is too small .
What's wrong with the function ? Please help me . or any other way to get printer port status Please tell me .

bool NEAR PrintOnLpt1Ready()  
{
   HANDLE hPrinter ;
   PRINTER_INFO_2 pPrinter ;
   DWORD pcbNeeded ;

   int i , OnPosition ;
   char pName[255] ;

   pcbNeeded = sizeof(PRINTER_INFO_2) ;
   MessageBox(NULL,IntToStr(pcbNeeded).c_str(),"Size",MB_OK) ;
   for (i=0 ; i<Printer()->Printers->Count ; i++)
   {
       strcpy(pName , Printer()->Printers->Strings[i].c_str()) ;
       OnPosition = Printer()->Printers->Strings[i].Pos(" on") ;
       pName[OnPosition-1] = '\0' ;
    if (OpenPrinter(pName,&hPrinter,NULL)==true)
       {
        if (GetPrinter(hPrinter,2,(unsigned char *)&pPrinter,sizeof(PRINTER_INFO_2),&pcbNeeded)==true)
           MessageBox(NULL,pName,pPrinter.pPortName,MB_OK) ;
           ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
       }
       else
       {
           ShowLastError() ;
       }

   }
return(false);
}
