Printer Monitor

Hi al

Please can someone point me in a right direction/tell me how to go about building an appliation that can monitor the printer queue on a windows platform(2000,X P,NT and 2003). What are the steps I need to follow in order to monitor the queues and store the info eg have a counter to count the number of pages printed by a specific username. I have a a brief look on the web and I have had no problem finding limited VB.NET stuff, but I want C# examples, and I would like to work with the windows API's, instead of downloading a component, because then most likely I will have to buy the component... So I was wondering does anyone here know how to do this, or know of any C# resources that explain this concept well

I am not an exteme newbie to c# but I am still learning and I would like to make this my "learning" project, so any help/suggestions on this topic will be immensly appreciated

Thanks in advanc
Kevin

Hi everyone, We're trying to write a script that will monitor 6 email addresses and if an email arrives it will print to a specific network printer based on the email address. So if the address is 'department1@domain.com' it will print to 'dept1ptr'. Each printer can be setup either on a network print server or printed to directly via IP address... they're all HP printers.

Hi group, I am new to this group and since I didn´t find anything on Internet related to my problem I wanted to know if anyone know or may help me. What I have to do is: - Monitor a Network Printer - When a specified document is printed (perhaps it can be identified by the name), add a signature at the end of the document. This signature can be any type of digital image (gif, jpg, tiff, etc).
