Printer Status Out of paper/paper jam

I want to be able to get the infromationf from the printer when its out of paper and if possible even when there is a paper jam.

I have used enumjobs to get al the jobs, and then used job infor 2 and its number of pages variable to know how many pages are there.

But I also want to know when the print er is just stuck as its out of paper or if there is a paper jam.

My application is just monitoring the printer by the way, I might not be starting the prints every time.

Any suggestions, links are very much appreciated, and any sample code would be heavenly...

Thanks!

EnumPrinters(...)
PRINTER_INFO_2 contains a status.

You can also look at

FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification(...)

For notification of status changes PRINTER_NOTIFY_INFO_DATA should be able to also key off status.
