    Try defining a custom parameter at the Session or Report level. Then use
    ClientReport.GetSessionParameters or GetReportParameters methods to retrieve
    the parameters. On the server side write code that returns a custom
    parameter that indicates whether the print server is available.

    A standard use of custom parameters is to send info from the client to the
    server, but there is nothing to prevent you from sending parameters from the
    server to the client as well.

    For demos of using custom parameters see RBServer\Demos\Clients\Custom
    Parameters and RBServer\Demos\Servers\Custom Parameters. The custom
    parameter feature was introduced in RB 7.02.
