PORT_STATUS_WARMING_UP	The port's printer is warming up.
PORT_STATUS_POWER_SAVE	The port's printer is in a power-conservation mode.

pzStatus
Pointer to a new printer port status value string to set. Use this member if there is no suitable status value among those listed for dwStatus.

dwSeverity
Specifies the severity of the port status value.

This member can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
PORT_STATUS_TYPE_ERROR	The port status value indicates an error.
PORT_STATUS_TYPE_WARNING	The port status value is a warning.
