Hi,

After
Printer.KillDoc

Give :

Printer.EndDoc.

This Ensures current printing Document is Terminated.

To remove all from Queue, Put in a loop and Check.

Hi Veena,

I already try that but still it does not work... and by the way what I want to delete or cancel is already in the printer queue 1 page only, can it be deleted or canceled or any possible way to do that...

if it is not too much for you, can you give me a simple example for this...

thanks Veena

one more thing, when i send file in the printer queue I already apply

Printer.endDoc

the reason for that is I really want it to be printed.... But for some reason like printer error or something that i need to cancel the printing

Printer.KillDoc

is no longer applicable... do you know some solution for this.... any idea.

Thanks

Hi,

After sending it to Printer Queue, u cant write KillDoc, as u said, it is no longer applicable.
and more over, KillDoc works for BackGround printing Enabled only, that is the application Starts printing immedialtely after u give "Printer.Print" statement. that means it will not wait for .NewPage or .EndDoc.
Printer is in the same system or is it a network printer?
