Get the total amount of pages from Win32_PrintJob

Question

The Win32_PrintJob WMI class has lots of properties. (see: Win32_PrintJob on MSDN)

I have a small .NET application that poles the printing jobs and displays the jobs

Answer 1

i had the same problem with Win32_PrintJob (TotalPages/PagesPrinted doesn't take into account number of copies). I solved it by combining WMI with Win api.

Number of copies can be retrieved from DEVMODE structure (dmCopies) which is part of JOB_INFO_2 structure.

So you call GetJob with Level=2 and you will get JOB_INFO_2 instance. From there, it's piece of cake, just little bit of marshaling :).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
