Print Spooler Control

[domenu]

Hello,

I want to write an application in C# that controls the Windows Print Spooler service.

How do I know if the service is still responding?
I know how to check if the service is running or stopped, but I want to detect if the running printspooler is really
still active and accepting new print jobs.

Thanks in advance,

nick;

Use a ServiceController class to control and to retrieve some information about a service.
You can detect the following service states:
ContinuePending
-Paused
-PausePending
-Running
-StartPending
-Stopped
-StopPending
