Hi,
I want to know how many pages printed for a task that is given to printer through programming using c++ or vc++.

Adding some more information:

yes the file types that my program sending are DOC and PDF. After printing i need to log the data in how many pages are printed for that file for that user.

Some time i will not send total file ,i will send some selected pages or text also.

All just i wanted is how many of pages printed for that job in C++/VC++.

Tanks in advance.

Do you mean a print file that your program is sending, or some other file?

Well if you are sending the file then you will know in advance how many pages are to be printed.

How do you submit the documents for printing ? Only this "print handler" knows how many pages were requested per document.

You can subscribe to Windows print spooler notification functions, as FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification, FindNextPrinterChangeNotification with interest of JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_TOTAL_PAGES, JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_PAGES_PRINTED. Or you can examine Windows logs for the same information, using OpenEventLog on Windows XP or EvtSubscribe on Vista and later. And you can do it from printing process.
