The Printer Monitor Component is a .NET component which allows you to monitor and administer the print queue from VB.Net, C# or any of the .NET environments.
In addition it provides detailed information about jobs submitted to a print spooler, such as the user name, number of pages, orientation, file name and so on. Using this component it is possible to build powerful print job tracking applications in a very short timescale.
The control raises an event whenever a print job is added, removed or changed on the printer queue which is being monitored.
A job has been added to the printer queue being monitored
Private Sub PrinterMonitorComponent1_JobAdded(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PrinterMonitorComponent1.JobAdded
End Sub
A job has been written to the printer attached to the printer queue being monitored
Private Sub PrinterMonitorComponent1_JobWritten(ByVal sender As Object , _
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PrinterMonitorComponent1.JobAdded
End Sub
A job details has been changed
Private Sub PrinterMonitorComponent1_JobSet(ByVal sender As Object , _
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PrinterMonitorComponent1.JobSet
End Sub
A job has been removed from the printer queue being monitored
Private Sub PrinterMonitorComponent1_JobDeleted(ByVal sender As Object , _
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PrinterMonitorComponent1.JobAdded
End Sub
A change has occured in the printer information of the printer being monitored
Private Sub PrinterMonitorComponent1_PrinterInformationChanged(ByVal sender As Object , _
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PrinterMonitorComponent1.PrinterInformationChanged
End Sub
