Printer Monitor

[hlima]

Hi,

i'm developing an application to control print jobs in a shared windows 2000 printer, it's purpose is to pause all print jobs and only allow them to resume with my application gui.
I also need to get the total number of pages and copies of each job.

I already made it work using the windows api functions (EnumJobs, SetJob) and a worker thread to pause all new jobs and resume the ones permited to print.

The problem is when someone prints from MS Word using more than 1 copy, it only returns 1 copy in the dmCopies member of the DEVMODE struct of JOB_INFO_2.

Does someone knows how to solve this problem and get the correct number of pages from the Word document?

Please, help me!!!!!!!

There probably *is* only 1 copy, as Word usually just generates the copies one after each other, instead of sending the "i need 5 copies" command to the printer ;-)
