Hi Sara, thank you for the answer. <br />
Some details: the message is not generated from an interactive application (as far I can understand) but from the spooler process itself <b>(spoolsv.exe</b>). <br />
I am going to try your solution.<br />
Thank you very much for the direction<br />

Hi Experts, <br />
I have an unattended printing process on w2k sp4. When the printer goes down a popup asks if retry or cancel the job. <br />
The best would be &nbsp;intercept the message, cancel the job, write a log and then reset the state.<br />
<br />
The lowest level of the solution would be avoid the user message triggering a predefined condition such as delete job.<br />
<br />
Do you know a way to achive this?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Thank you in advance for every suggestion<br />
Francesco<br />

The interactive error message that should be intercepted

Hi Experts, 
I have an unattended printing process on w2k sp4. When the printer goes down a popup asks if retry or cancel the job. 
The best would be  intercept the message, cancel the job, write a log and then reset the state.

The lowest level of the solution would be avoid the user message triggering a predefined condition such as delete job.

Do you know a way to achive this?
 
Thank you in advance for every suggestion

Intercepting spooler timeout  messages

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
