Hi Everyone,
I am printing a Word document thru a VB program. I am familiar with the BackgroundPrintingStatus property to determine when I can dismiss the Word application object. I need to know when the printer is free i.e., print spool is empty. It does not appear the the printer object gives me this information. Is there a way I can tell when the print spool is empty...perhaps thru some type of API function?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
RPrinceton
