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.programmer.misc
