printer jobs

[JFB]

Hi all,
I need to manage the jobs printing on a printer over the network. The new
Framework has something to help me with??
Any links? Any ideas?
Tks

I would start by looking at what WMI can give you, and then access that from
..NET. Some good examples to get you srated about and help your chain of
thought

I would use WMI to control print jobs/queues too.

The other user pointed you to a C# piece of code I think, which I viewed in
March, but it isn't that good

A simple Google search will show you better examples & the master of Google
searchs (MVP Herfried (Google Search Master LOL)) will surely help you with
that

But I do agree that WMI is the best way about it because you can purge print
queues, add jobs, delete or add printers, monitor... with very little code

On the Microsoft Scripting Site you'll find many simple scripts that can be
eeasily converted into VB.NET for printing/printers

I hope this helps,
