Hi,

theoreticaly whfc should receive a windows message "WM_SPOOLERSTATUS"
whenever
a printjob is ready for printing, but in reality Windows 95+NT send this
message
at a random time after a print job has started 8-( . I have posted about
this
behaviour at a microsoft developer newsgroup last week, but i haven't
got an
answer about this. Seems one of the new "Features" of Windows. Windows
3.11
behaves correctly. It sends these message after finishing a print job.
