Is there a way to test when a print job is complete ?

[Rick Lipkin]

To All

I have a billing program that sends its output to print either to paper or print to .pdf. My user is always committing his invoices before he confirms the print job is completed or the send to .pdf is on his desktop.

Just need a way to test that the print job is complete.

Thanks

Rick,

It seems as this is what you need:

The C code is there. Anyhow, please read it and check if that is what you are looking for.

Yes, I think the information from the link is what I am looking for .. I just need to know when a job from the spooler is complete or has errored. I will use the returned value of the spooler to determine if I can allow my invoices to be committed.

I am not much of a 'C' programmer, however if you could create a wrapper for the spooler functions I would be most grateful. I am sure the other FiveWin users could take advantage of that function if you wanted to add it to the FiveWin libraries.

Thanks

Rick,

Have you tried PrnStatus() ?
