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

Take a look at the System.Manageme nt namespace classes, these are simple
wrapper arround WMI, and WMI contains a number of CIM classes to manage
printers and print queues.
Search MSDN for win32_printer.

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.
Any suggestions on a route to go with this? I'm very...

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).

I am stumped. I lost my printer about a week ago and cannot reinstall it.
When I try it tells me that the specified print monitor cannot be found. I
have a Dell computer with Windows XP and a Dell Photo Printer 720. Any help
will be greatly appreciated.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
