Printer Spooler

[eyecaption]

I need to delete the printer spooler with VB? The abortprinter call is returning 1. I have not found any examples using this api. Ideas?

One choice -

declare function AbortDoc lib "gdi32" (ByBal hdc as long) as Long

Sub StopPrint()
   call abortdoc printer.hDC
End Sub

You can also use callbacks with SetAbortProc to stop printing.
This one is complex, have a look at MSDN - this page blathers about Windows CE, but this api exists in Win95, 98, NT.

If you want VB sample code, get a copy of Dan Appleman's book 'VB programmer's guide to the win32 api'
