During my sophomore project, we had to seek out a client and write a program that would satisfy their need. My client requested a print monitor. I wrote a nice little program utilizing the code found here:
Monitor jobs in a printer queue (.NET)[^]

It worked great. A year later, I recieve an email from the client saying they've upgraded the computers in their lab to 64-bit Windows 7 from 32-bit Windows 7. I didn't think it would be a problem as I had compiled the program using VS2010 C# for AnyCPU. It now does not even detect print jobs entering the queue. I would like to get this working again for them.

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

Since you used code based on a CodeProject article, it would be best to post your question in the forum at the end of the article, and discuss with the author.

I would try doing a 32 bit build. That way, it will run in 32 bit mode, which means that it should work the same on a 64 bit machine. I've had to do that in the past, in order to consume 32 bit dlls.
