Sorry, KitKat, that is not what i want, I want to capture the message in my
own app. I mean, my app runs, if there a print job add to a printer, my app
also get the message, that is to say, my app must knows the following msg:
who want to print, how many pages will be printed, is the printing job
allowed? ...

Short of using SendKeys, probably not -- and you really don't want to use
that.

Hi, all
When we click or select Print in IE, a print windows pop-up, is there anyway
to capture this message and get the information of the print window (i.e.
pages ,paper,defualt printer,...) and i can control the printing job
continue or cancel it.

thanks a lot

This is not possible out-of-the-box because this is the printer spooler's
job, literally.

Have a look here:

Though, I don't know if it's possible at all.
