Dear ,

I face a problem while hooking printing service, I am beginner in windows hooking. My idea to hook printing spooler service to control any printing job. I use C# to implement my propopsed solution, I am trying to use SHELLHockstruct,

C++

[DllImport("user32.dll",CharSet=CharSet.Auto,
 CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static extern int SetWindowsHookEx(int idHook, HookProc lpfn, 
IntPtr hInstance, int threadId);

Please I need your help in solving that ~~urgent~~ issue, give me shortcut for control printing service, any material I can read, example, and so on.

Best Regards
Hany Mohamed

A couple of points... first, your use of txtspk isn't going to endear you to the community. Second, your claim that it's "urgent" is also not going to endear you to the community. Third, what have you tried, any error messages?

I think you need to look for solution based on WMI.

Look at these articles:
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2005/04/01/notify-with-wmi.aspx[^],
Monitor jobs in a printer queue (.NET)[^],
A simple approach for controlling print jobs using WMI[^],

Search for WMI control:
