estado de impresora

[Moetor]

Saludos
quisiera saber como puedo detectar el estado de una impersora de forma automatica, es decir que la aplicacion este en ejecucion y al momento de mandar a imprimir, la aplicacion automaticamente escriba en un fichero el numero de impresiones. Espero alguien me ayude

La función GetPrinterInfo sólo necesita un argumento y es el nombre del dispositivo de impresión al que se desea consultar. Para obtener una lista de las impresoras VB proporciona la colección Printers, que se puede recorrer con un bucle For Each...Next

Por ejemplo:

Sub EnumPrinterInfo()
      Dim lpInfo As PrinterInfo
      Dim csPrinter

  For Each csPrinter In Printers
    lpInfo = GetPrinterInfo(csPrinter.DeviceName)
