PsaltyDS Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 hello, how do i know if the printer printed the second copy of 5 copies, the third of five copies, and so on... tnx...From the command line you can just type NET PRINT for some info. Don't remember if pages for active jobs are listed.Can you work with WMI COM objects? I ask because that is in the Win32_PrintJob object as PagesPrinted and TotalPages for the job. If you have Microsoft's Scriptomatic, just find the VBScript enumerator for Win32_PrintJob and convert what you need to AutoIt.Merry Christmas! Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

jruelan Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 scriptomatic is great but does any one know how to detect if the printer has finished printing a single page. Win32_PrintJob only displays the pages to be printed, not "Now printing 5 of 13 pages" and the like... tnx, anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jruelan Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 i've already compared $objItem.PagesPrinted and $objItem.TotalPages properties. I am printing a 2 page pdf document, i want to reproduce five copies of it, ergo, i placed 5 in the Copies control. during the printer spooling, i ran the scriptomatic win32_printjob and found out the pagesprinted outputs 10 while total pages is 0, i tried rerunning the win32_printjob query until the printing is finished, all the outputs of the query are the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
