    Trap all print transaction

    Hi,

    In vb.net I would like to trap all kinds of printing transaction in all applications.

    for example:

    I want to print from ms word or ms excel or adobe photoshop and I would to put a vb form with username and password before I can print.

    Porpuse of this is to track who is the user use the printer and what kind of application they used.

    Any Idea, links or code is really appreciated.

    Thanks!

    You will need to use the windows API : specifically FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification etc.

    There is an article on TheCodeProject that will get you started...
