Hello,

I'm using System.Printing to get the information about the jobs in spoolers.

I can ger the basic information about job name, number of pages, etc. but I have the problem with getting the information about job color, duplex usage or number of copies.

I use HostingPrintQueue.CurrentJobSettings.CurrentPrintTicket but thes values are still the default and not the selected values during the print dialog.

Here is my code:

string jobName;
       string jobSubmitter;
       string jobPrinter;
       int jobNumOfPages;
       string jobDuplex;
       string jobColor;
       int jobCopies;

       PrintServer ps = new PrintServer();
       foreach (PrintQueue pq in ps.GetPrintQueues())
       {
           PrintQueue _spooler;

           _spooler = new PrintQueue(new PrintServer(), pq.Name);

           PrintJobInfoCollection jobs = _spooler.GetPrintJobInfoCollection();
           foreach (PrintSystemJobInfo job in jobs)
           {
               if (job.IsPrinted)
               {
                   jobName = job.Name;
                   jobSubmitter = job.Submitter;
                   jobPrinter = job.HostingPrintQueue.FullName;
                   jobNumOfPages = job.NumberOfPagesPrinted;
                   jobDuplex = job.HostingPrintQueue.CurrentJobSettings.CurrentPrintTicket.Duplexing.Value.ToString();
                   jobColor = job.HostingPrintQueue.CurrentJobSettings.CurrentPrintTicket.OutputColor.Value.ToString();
                   jobCopies = job.HostingPrintQueue.CurrentJobSettings.CurrentPrintTicket.CopyCount.Value;

                   lbLogs.Items.Add("Name:" + jobName + " Submiter:" + jobSubmitter + " Printer:" + jobPrinter + " Pages:" + jobNumOfPages + " Color:" + jobColor + " Duplex:" +jobDuplex + " Copies:" + jobCopies);
                   job.Cancel();
               }

           }
       }

Please can somebody help?
