you could set the printer to print directly to the printer
instead of spooling but most printers these days have pretty
large buffers and this would still leave you NOT knowing if the
report actually printed.

Subject: Way to detect when job done printing?
A client I'm mentoring has a process where his VFP app sends reports to the
printer quite quickly and his app says "Report printed" for each; of course
they don't print that quick but are instead queued up in the printer waiting
for their turn to print.
Is there a way to detect if the print jobs have all completed (i.e., the
printer has printed all the jobs you just sent it)?
My first thought was to change his verbiage in his app to say "Report sent
to printer" --- that was the *easy* solution. ;-)
Any ideas?
TIA,
--Michael
