Events to determine when a WebBrowser object has finished printing?

Lewis

I'm very new to C# and have written a small app that I intend to call from a larger c++ app. Anyway, this small c# app simply takes a URL and prints it once it has loaded, this works fine. However my problem is that, once printed, I want the app to close, but there is no event or status returned from the print calls on the "System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser" object.

Does anyone know how I can determine if something is in the print queue? Or failing that, does anyone have any ideas of other ways to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I dont really mind if the printing is successful or not. Perhaps its possible to determine if at least the information has been successfully added to the print queue? What happens from there is, as you say, nothing to do with my program. But surely it must be possible to determine if the data has actually been sent to initiate the printing process?

Thanks for your time.

I think it might not be easy to identify the status of the printer. Because your printing is the SPOOL operation and the method would return immediately once the content was sent to the printer. No matter if it succeeded or not, that's the printer's business. Of course the printer won't send the printing status to your program.
