I only recently started working on serial printers. In this case, the printer is available to print whether it has an error condition (eg. Open lid, no paper and so on) or not. I would like to continuously check the printer in serial port and if it sends an error status It would be ideal to disable it so the print procedure would not move on. here is how I have tried to achieve this task.

using System;
using System.IO.Ports;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;

public class PrinterStatusMonitor
{
    private static SerialPort serialPort;

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string portName = "COM1"; // Update to the correct port name
        serialPort = new SerialPort(portName, 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
        try
        {
            serialPort.Open();

        }
        catch (Exception ex1)
        {

            Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + ex1.Message);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        Thread monitoringThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(MonitorPrinterStatus));
        monitoringThread.Start();
    }

    private static void MonitorPrinterStatus()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            try
            {
                string status = serialPort.ReadLine();

                if (IsErrorStatus(status))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Error detected: " + status);
                    DisablePrinter();
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Printer status: " + status);
                }

                Thread.Sleep(1000); // Check every second
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + ex.Message);
                Console.ReadLine();

            }
        }
    }

    private static bool IsErrorStatus(string status)
    {
        // Example check for an error status,
        // Replace this with actual conditions based on your printer documentation
        return status.Contains("ERROR") || status.Contains("FAULT");
    }

    private static void DisablePrinter()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Disabling printer in Task Manager...");

        ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
        psi.Arguments = "/C taskkill /F /IM spoolsv.exe";
        psi.RedirectStandardInput = true;
        psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        psi.RedirectStandardError = true;
        psi.UseShellExecute = false;
        psi.CreateNoWindow = true;
        psi.Verb = "runas"; // Run as administrator

        using (Process process = new Process { StartInfo = psi })
        {
            process.Start();
            string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
            string error = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
            process.WaitForExit();

            Console.WriteLine(output);

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(error))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error disabling printer: " + error);
            }
        }
    }
}

any help on how to improve my code would be greatly appriciated.
