JOB_STATUS_PRINTED notification

Post by tollens »

I'm printing to the BullZip PDF Printer from an application I'm working on, and I'm interested in knowing when the PDF file has been generated (and the print job finished). I'm able to do this with Adobe PDF by using several API functions (FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification(...), FindNextPrinterChangeNotification(...), ...). I know that the printing job has completed when I get back a JOB_STATUS_PRINTED notification, but when I use the BullZip PDF Printer, I never get this notification, I only get JOB_STATUS_DELETING and JOB_STATUS_DELETED.

Do you know why I never receive the JOB_STATUS_PRINTED notification?

Thanks.

Actually, a JOB_STATUS_COMPLETE is returned, (though on other pdf printers I believe this may mean only that the job has been sent to the queue and not necessarily that the pdf file is generated). With this notification, and a check to see if the job id is still in the printer queue, I resolved my problem.
