Hello,
The problem :
I need to print a postscript file to an HP 8100 printer.
I need to know when the job has actually finished printing (ie when the last bit of paper has popped out of the device), not just when its been spooled to the printer, or the native spooler process. Any OS is acceptable.
I've tried this in java, and the API they provide always uses the spooler, which gives me a "job done" notification before the job is actually.
I know I should really use the spooler process, but cannot find a way to be notified when a job is really done.
The printer can speak IPP or JetDirect, to my knowledge.
Has anybody any idea if this is possible (well, possible without reading and implementing the IPP spec !).
Thanks for any help
