Check if printer is done printing

[tarretarretarre]

Hi,

So when using _FilePrint to print files. You can't (as far as I know) check if the print job is done. Not with cmd, not with AutoIt, not with powershell. 

This is the printer I use: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=lpql700eus

Do you guys have any idea on how I could achive this. I do not want to sleep or have any human interaction  

Here is how I imagine I will use it

 

Do
    _FilePrint(nextFile())
    While _FileIsPrinting()
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
Until NoMoreFiles()

 

Thank you!

an idea could be to count how many jobs are present in the printer queue. 0 job =  printer is ready. It can be done with the Win32_PrintJob WMI class .
