Examples

The following example shows how to use this property when diagnosing a problem with a print job.

// Check for possible trouble states of a print job using its properties
static void SpotTroubleUsingProperties (PrintSystemJobInfo^ theJob) 
{
   if (theJob->IsBlocked)
   {
      Console::WriteLine("The job is blocked.");
   }
   if (theJob->IsCompleted || theJob->IsPrinted)
   {
      Console::WriteLine("The job has finished. Have user recheck all output bins and be sure the correct printer is being checked.");
   }
   if (theJob->IsDeleted || theJob->IsDeleting)
   {
      Console::WriteLine("The user or someone with administration rights to the queue has deleted the job. It must be resubmitted.");
   }
   if (theJob->IsInError)
   {
      Console::WriteLine("The job has errored.");
   }
   if (theJob->IsOffline)
   {
      Console::WriteLine("The printer is offline. Have user put it online with printer front panel.");
   }
   if (theJob->IsPaperOut)
   {
      Console::WriteLine("The printer is out of paper of the size required by the job. Have user add paper.");
   }

   if (theJob->IsPaused || theJob->HostingPrintQueue->IsPaused)
   {
      HandlePausedJob(theJob);
      //HandlePausedJob is defined in the complete example.
   }

   {
      Console::WriteLine("The job is printing now.");
   }
