Hello

I am stuck in a issue and still curious to know how I can find a dmCopies for a job in print queue. I have a system in place where only one print job is in the print queue all the time. I need to know No Of Copies user asked for this print job. That is basically "Copies" of each page / No or print Sets user requested.

I am trying to do this with VB.Net. Framework has bug in it where it always shows 1 as Copies. Can someone please guide on this.

Sample in VB.Net appreciated.

Thanks

Since you didn't post any code, have you already tried PrintTicket class[^]

There's a good sample in the end for querying tickets.

Ok, you could try using winspool directly. For example: http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/winspool/DocumentProperties.html[^]

Thanks Mika, for your quick reply,
I have tried using PrintTicket, this property has a known bug. It returns 1 as copies all the time, No matter how many copies user prints.

Below is code for your reference. liCopies will always be 1.

If you have any workaround please do let me know. Any API sample would help aswell.

Appreciate Your Help.

---------------------
Dim lobjPrintJobs As PrintJobInfoCollection = lobjQueue.GetPrintJobInfoCollection()

For Each lObjJob As PrintSystemJobInfo In lobjPrintJobs

Dim liCopies As Integer
liCopies = lObjJob.HostingPrintQueue.CurrentJobSettings.CurrentPrintTicket.CopyCount()

Next
