Hi.
Let's say I Print anything. The Doc goes temporarly to the spool/queue of the Printer.
Is there any attached command/variable to that spool or queue? (Windows default)

I use a public printer and I would like to know if my doc was already printed, before I go check the printer :\

Oh, and without reading the text from the process/"hidden window" of the printer, because there are 2 diferent printers

printer spooler is c:\windows\system32\spool\printers

they are SHD files, if the folder is empty then nothing is waiting to be printed

This is the local print spool, and becomes empty when the file gets transferred to the printer server. I don't think you can avoid explicitly accessing the server's spool, if it is accessible at all, via NFS, Novell, ftp... The network administrator should set it up for you.
