Monitoring print job

Hello.

Monitoring a print job with all information Windows printer queue
serves is no issue. But If I print a page the page is sent from te
spooler to the printer. As soon as the spooler has no more data, it
reports "print ok" although the printer has a paper jam for example.
Does anyone know a generic interface how to control the status of
printers (not manufacturer specific)?

Thanks for answers.
Tomka.

Please write to a Windows-specific newsgroup, for example:

comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.misc

Hi, I have a Monitoring application that needs to output single line summaries to a local dot matrix printer loaded with line flow. ie. It will have exclusive use of the printer which is connected to LPT1. I need to get the normal number of lines to each page. ie 60 summaries onto a 66 line lineflow page Am I restricted to the Printdocument object and graphics printing or is there a way to do a single line text print?

Hello. I can monitor print jobs as long as the windows spooler is responsible for them. But if all data is sent to the printer the job is out of the spoolers scope. If the printer has a paper jam at this time, i get no information about this. Is there a driver independant solution to request the status of the print job directly from the printer? Tomka.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
