  1. How do I get the Printer Status when WMI doesn't have it?


    I've been trying to get the printer status using my .Net desktop application, but it always returns Idle. In addition to using WMIObject, I've tried Microsoft's example of returning the print queue status which doesn't recognize when the printer is unavailable, and I tried using rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry, which also did not return the needed results.Does anyone know what Microsoft is using to read the status shown in the first image, and if so, the syntax for using it? Or of any other method of extracting a printer's status that can circumvent the issue&n

    :)

    my 3Dprinter doesn´t appear

    My 3D printer doesn´t appear on when I open 3D builder on the left popup to choose printer.

    Is it need to do any previous step?? I thought It was plug and play. the printer is an UP Plus2 from Tiertime so, it is one of the recommended partners manufaturers. any message of error just doesnçt possible to send the prin.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
