look in the folder on the server or PC if not using a print server, C:\Windows\System32\spool\<wbr />PRINTERS<br />
copy the .spl file and open it with notepad, there you can see what tray is been called and whether duplex is on or not for that job.

Thanks for info. I've found a .spl on a PC, but not on the server. The printer are connected via TCP/IP port to the server and then shared. Any clue?
</div>


<div>
to capture that .spl file you will need pause the printer on the server and send the job then go to the folder and copy the file so you can examine it. when working correctly the file get delete once the job is printed so that is why you have to pause printing, then resume to make the job print.

<div>
that worked, thanks. But this information source is only very shortly available. The question is how to save such information about the print jobs permanently. Is there e.g. a possibility to enhance the information written into the log or another way to write it out into a file?
</div>


<div>
Thanks, I'll try it. But I think an at job running every minute might not catch all print related files, i.e. some prints can happen in between? Maybe, the script can be triggered by the print job?<br />
But then I've the copied files. In the end I need only the details about the printed documents. The log parser is a convenient tool for analyzing the log. But, details about the printed documents are not stored there. Is there a possibility to customize the logs by such information?

<div>
I hooked the copy process on the event 805, but a copied .spl file no content. Ideas?
</div>


<div>
Works with hooking on id 801.

The event log provides some information about print jobs, e.b. user, document etc. This can be read, e.g. with log parser. The question is how to get more details about a printed document, i.e. the documents attributes as e.g. color, b&amp;w, duplex etc.

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.
