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.
