Check if printing is successful

Question

I am developing a windowform application in C #.

In my application, I wrote the code below to get all the images from the local computer and print it.

files = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\temp", "*.jpeg"); foreach (var i in files) { var objPrintDoc = new PrintDocument(); objPrintDoc.PrintPage += (obj, eve) => { System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(i); Point loc = new Point(100, 100); eve.Graphics.DrawImage(img, loc); }; objPrintDoc.Print(); } 

Now I want to check whether this printing was successful or not, and then I want to delete the temporary folder that I created manually for storing images.

I tried the code below, but that didn't work for me.

  PrintServer myPrintServer; PrintQueueCollection myPrintQueues = myPrintServer.GetPrintQueues(); String printQueueNames = "My Print Queues:\n\n"; foreach (PrintQueue pq in myPrintQueues) { printQueueNames += "\t" + pq.Name + "\n"; } 

Please inform us of my problem and follow the necessary steps.

Thanks Prashant

Here is the msdn description for PrintSystemJobInfo.JobStatus

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.printing.printsystemjobinfo.jobstatus(v=vs.110).aspx

I tried the following code and saw the print status. A.

  private void brnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { var files = Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Folder", "*.jpg"); foreach (var i in files) { var objPrintDoc = new PrintDocument(); objPrintDoc.PrintPage += (obj, eve) => { Image img = Image.FromFile(i); Point loc = new Point(100, 100); eve.Graphics.DrawImage(img, loc); }; objPrintDoc.Print(); PrintServer myPrintServer = new PrintServer(@"\\ComputerName"); PrintQueueCollection myPrintQueues = myPrintServer.GetPrintQueues(); try { foreach (PrintQueue pq in myPrintQueues) { pq.Refresh(); PrintJobInfoCollection pCollection = pq.GetPrintJobInfoCollection(); foreach (PrintSystemJobInfo job in pCollection) { listBox1.Items.Add(pq.Name); SpotTroubleUsingJobAttributes(job); } } } catch (Exception) { //throw; } } } public void SpotTroubleUsingJobAttributes(PrintSystemJobInfo theJob) { if ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Blocked) == PrintJobStatus.Blocked) { listBox1.Items.Add("The job is blocked."); } if (((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Completed) == PrintJobStatus.Completed) || ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Printed) == PrintJobStatus.Printed)) { listBox1.Items.Add( "The job has finished. Have user recheck all output bins and be sure the correct printer is being checked."); } if (((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Deleted) == PrintJobStatus.Deleted) || ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Deleting) == PrintJobStatus.Deleting)) { listBox1.Items.Add( "The user or someone with administration rights to the queue has deleted the job. It must be resubmitted."); } if ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Error) == PrintJobStatus.Error) { listBox1.Items.Add("The job has errored."); } if ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Offline) == PrintJobStatus.Offline) { listBox1.Items.Add("The printer is offline. Have user put it online with printer front panel."); } if ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.PaperOut) == PrintJobStatus.PaperOut) { listBox1.Items.Add("The printer is out of paper of the size required by the job. Have user add paper."); } //if (((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Paused) == PrintJobStatus.Paused) // || // ((theJob.HostingPrintQueue.QueueStatus & PrintQueueStatus.Paused) == PrintQueueStatus.Paused)) //{ // HandlePausedJob(theJob); // //HandlePausedJob is defined in the complete example. //} if ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Printing) == PrintJobStatus.Printing) { listBox1.Items.Add("The job is printing now."); } if ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.Spooling) == PrintJobStatus.Spooling) { listBox1.Items.Add("The job is spooling now."); } if ((theJob.JobStatus & PrintJobStatus.UserIntervention) == PrintJobStatus.UserIntervention) { listBox1.Items.Add("The printer needs human intervention."); } }
