Hi,

I have a problem google or these groups has not yet been able to provide
an answer for, I could be missing something obvious. But I certainly
hope not.

I want to monitor all printer queues on the computer - and get a
notification when something changes (i.e. a new job is added or such).
Preferable without polling, but that is secondary.

Anyone got any idea on where to look/ask? Perhaps someone in here has a
solution and is willing to share?

See here for a VB.NET example:

Thanks,
Hadn't found this one...

I can probably make it work somehow, unfortunantly I do not have VB.NET
in my VS - so sorting out which file is which will be murder, to boot
the example test program crashed on start :(

Managed to find it in compiled form at
http://www.merrioncomputing.com/Download/PrintQueueWatch.htm

Don't know if this is the latest version, but seems to work. Now all I
need is to make it a service :D

The latest version and also a project that uses that in a windows
service is in a project called "PUMA" on CodePlex - see http://www.codeplex.com/PUMA
