Retrieve actual printer queue

584 views Asked by At

The printer is a Network printer. Actually a normal printer connected using Ethernet. It's somehow acting as a printer server by itself. All documents sent to this printer disappear from the local queue instantaneously. I need a (somewhat) reliable way to confirm a successful printing. Right now I cannot assume a successful printing after a job is gone from the spooler, because even when the job seems to have completed (with completed status) in the spooler queue, the printer is still warming up! not reliable at all... This model in particular is an Epson LP-9400, but I plan to target the "configuration" in rather than the particular model.

Is this attainable at all using WMI? or the WMI layer lacks of updated info about the actual status? (Right now I'm querying the status using WMI)
