How to find and read spool file (*.SPL) of the network printer
0
I know how to find and read spool file of the local printer, but I don't know how to find and read the network spool file. How I can do this ?
Below is what I have now:
//I get all available printers using
EnumPrinters(flags, NULL, 2, (LPBYTE)prninfo, needed, &needed, &returned)
//then create a new Printer Change notification thread using
hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL,
0,
NotificationUpdate,
(void *)hParam,
1,
&ThreadID);
return hThread;
//then when I receive notification messages like
switch(PRINTER_NOTIFY_INFO_DATA) {
case JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_DEVMODE :
case JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_STATUS:
//I'm able to get print JobID and look in the windows folder for SPL files with that ID
GetSystemDirectoryW(wszSpoolDirectory, MAX_PATH);
wszSpoolDirectory = windows System32 folder + spoolPRINTERS?????+JobID.SPL
I tried also to use GetSpoolFileHandle(hPrinter) function, but this return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE
I don't know how to get spool file with *.SPL extension from LAN printer
How to find and read SPL file for network printer which is connect with router only via LAN Port ?

Hi Ayay, if you can use JobID.SPL to get the spool file is the problem that you can't connect the network printer to add a print job or you can't get JobID?

Hi @RitaHan-MSFT, I can get spool status and other details of print job, but I don't know how to get spool file with *.SPL extension from network printer. I tried to use GetSpoolFileHandle(hPrinter) but this returns invalid handle

Hi Ayay, can you call GetLastError() after GetSpoolFileHandle(hPrinter) and show the error code?
