PrinterQueueWatch .NET component
The PrinterQueueWatch .NET component from Merrion Computing Ltd is a .NET component which allows you to monitor and administer the print queue from VB.Net, C# or any of the .NET environments.
In addition it provides detailed information about jobs submitted to a print spooler, such as the user name, number of pages, orientation, file name and so on. Using this component it is possible to build powerful print job tracking applications in a very short timescale.
Time limited license trial version available from : here
All feedback appreciated,
Sláinte,
Duncan

New version 1.6.
Allows fine tuning of the monitor component - so if you aren't interested in a particular event you don't get notified about it - and raises events for printer status changes as well as job events.

New release available.
Changes:
========
* New class PrinterDriver added to give additional information about the drivers on a system and attached to a given printer
* Print job events are now asynchronous. This means that the print spooler will not be stalled while your applicvation processes the printer monitoring events
* New method: PrintJob.Commit which writes changed print job information to the spooler

Re: PrinterQueueWatch .NET component
Hi, do you know where can I find documentation about how to use this component?
I'm trying to write a small app to use it. Basically I have a set of items to print. I'll send them to the spooler but I want to update them on the app to Printed status only after the printer actually printed the item. Do you think I'll be able to do it with this component?
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Yup - in the JobWritten() event if e.Job.Printed = True then update your printed status to true.

Any help in this regard?
