In general about printers:  Print job spools to the Windows Print Queue and then spooled to the printer itself.

So most print jobs (over 90% in a modern system as a guess) are in the printer in the blink of an eye.

So you would have to figure out how to analyze the printer contents.

So long as our printer prints, we are happy. What drives this need?

Can you explain in more detail / show a screenshot because I don't know what you mean by that.

ASKER

when you go to DEVICES AND PRINTERS / PRINTERS / SHOW WHAT IT IS PRINTING.

you get a small window showing the list of printing jobs....

is there any dos command that can open that window directly ?
