Printer Status OUT of PAPER and PAPER JAM in C#

G

Guest

I have an application where the printer is not visible to the user on a
regular basis. I would like to be able to display an error message when the
printer is jammed or when it is out of paper.

My initial research on this topic has turned up a WMI solution and a
WINSPOOLER API call to unmanaged code using the Printerinfo6 structure to
cull the info I require.

I am wondering if there is an easier native method to determine this info
using the .net Framework.

Any suggestions?
