[binarystar] | Hi folks, | | I am writing a script to print a few thousand pdf documents and I need | to have some control over the number of jobs that are sent to the | printer queue at time ... something along the lines of | | if number_jobs > MAX_JOBS: | time.sleep(10) | else: | #Print More Files | | | I have been investigating the win32print utility | http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePython/2.4/pywin32 | /win32print.html | | ... but can not see how to get print queue information eg the | number of | jobs pending .. atleast my attempts are failing
Assuming I understand the need, you can do something like this with WMI: <code> import wmi c = wmi.WMI () print len (c.Win32_PrintJob ()) </code> TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
