Printer Overflow and BIF's

Title: Printer Overflow and BIF's

I've been using the BIFs for file I/O (with chains and writes and reads on data files) successfully for a couple of months now and I thought I'd be clever and do the same for a printer file....

c               if              %error
c               do              overflow stuff
c               write (e)       PrintFile
c               else           
c               write (e)               PrintFile
c               endif

Actually I tried it this way too:

c               write (e)               PrintFile
c               if              %error
c               do              overflow stuff
c               endif


Either way I get overflow errors....  I re-wrote it using the old OFLIND method without any problems.

Obviously %error doesn't work on printer files.  Is there something I'm missing or a different BIF I can use?

Thanks for your time,
