Hi, I want to hook all info related to printer and what was printed, i.e I actually want to hook Spooler?

Any idea what to be sent to "SetwindowHookEx"?

Thanks

Here is a way to do it in C# using WMI for local printers. http://www.codekeep.net/snippets/d8dc075a-79d0-4cc2-95a5-b298dbea307c.aspx

You might find what you are looking for in the Printer Change Notification Functions. Rather than hooking a Windows API, you can use the facility that is provided to get notifications of printer activity.

Yeah, I would try FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification and wait for PRINTER_CHANGE_ADD_JOB. Then maybe try to call EnumJobs when the event is triggered.
