Re: Count pages printed

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I did something like this years ago on NT. I don't recall the specifics, but
I think what I ended up doing was making the printer queue pause all
incoming jobs by default, then when a new print job came in, we could check
the number of pages, and then tell it to resume printing (it was used for an
outbound fax server).

This was a long time ago, and I no longer have access to the code, but it
might be a place to start. I am not 100% sure that the final solution
entailed pausing the printer, but I recall experimenting with that.

I found googled an article that has some API calls that might help you out,
it shows how to enumerate jobs, and you can check page counts, etc....

I'd love to hear how you do it. When you find the solution, be sure to post
it here.

Thanks

Hi.
I need to count the pages printed (with any program and with any printer),
any of you have some example to share with me. I use Windows XP.

I try to do it with FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification but I can't do
anything.

Thanks.
