Hi,

You can use the following APIs to retrieve information about
a specified printer and modify the current settings:

	GetPrinter()

	SetPrinter()

Also,

	GetJob()

	SetJob()

Hi Kellie, thanks for answering.

I tried before what you said but it didn't worked...
What I'm doing basically is:
- Pausing all jobs
- Trying to change the number of copies of the jobs to 1
- Resuming or destroying the job based in quotas on a db

When I change the number of copies and resume the job the value isn't 
changed...
The printer prints the old number of copies.

Here is the code:

GetJobs(g_hPrinter,&g_CurJobInfo,&g_JobsNumber,&g_PrinterStatus);

PauseJob(g_hPrinter,g_CurJobInfo[0].JobId);

g_CurJobInfo[0].pDevMode->dmCopies = 1;

SetJob(g_hPrinter,g_CurJobInfo[0].JobId,2,(LPBYTE)&g_CurJobInfo[0],NULL);


Thanks a lot.

Hi,

You need to initialize/set your values before starting
the print job.

Hi Kellie, don't you know how to change it after the print job is created? 
Because I'm reading print jobs from the network too...

Thank you.
