Tips & Tricks:

How to cancel a print job:

C#

int pHandle = 0;

PRINTER_DEFAULTS defaults = new PRINTER_DEFAULTS();

byte b = 0;

OpenPrinterA(printerName, ref pHandle, ref defaults);

SetJobA(pHandle, (int)jobID, 0, ref b, JOB_CONTROL_CANCEL);

ClosePrinter(pHandle);

Sample Code:

vb.net

dim Result as long = SetJob(handle, jobid, 0, Nothing, JOB_CONTROL_RESUME)

Alternative Managed API:

The System.Management API allows for lots of printer stuff, but doesn't let you delete a print job in Win2K.
