Intercepting spooler timeout messages
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
Francesco

I apologize for the delay.

Some details: the message is not generated from an interactive application (as far I can understand) but from the spooler process itself (spoolsv.exe).
I am going to try your solution.
Thank you very much for the direction
