    Thumbs up [Resolved] Printing: Set Document Name in Print Queue (thanks Merrion)

    Question 1
    When I print from VB6 the local print queue (spooler, print manager or whatever its called) shows document name as "Microsoft Visual Basic"

    Is there a simple way of changing that to a more meaningful document name - such as the client's account number etc? (by 'simple' I mean without all that terrifying API stuff that gives me the willies - If API is the only way could somebody please give me some very straightforward code as I am very very newbie when it comes to API.)


    Question 2
    Is there a simple (see definition above) way of getting back from the printer a value to say it has satisfactorily completed a particular print job. My printer loves to crash in the middle of a stack of documents "Your job waiting to be printed was deleted" and I have no idea which one of them failed to print without manually going through the whole stack and trying to remember which ones I had just tried to print.

    I have searched the knowledge base and previous posts and nothing yet meets my needs (or my definition of simple!)

    Thanks in anticipation...
