如何:诊断有问题的打印作业

网络管理员通常会向用户提出有关不打印或打印缓慢的打印作业的投诉。 Microsoft .NET Framework API 中公开的丰富打印作业属性集为执行打印作业的快速远程诊断提供了一种方法。

示例:

创建此类实用工具的主要步骤如下。

  1. 确定用户抱怨的打印作业。 用户通常无法准确地完成此操作。 他们可能不知道打印服务器或打印机的名称。 它们可能会用不同于设置打印机 Location 属性时所用的术语来描述打印机的位置。 因此,最好生成用户当前提交的作业的列表。 如果有多个,则用户与打印系统管理员之间的通信可用于查明存在问题的作业。 子步骤如下所示。

    1. 获取所有打印服务器的列表。

    2. 遍历服务器以查询其打印队列。

    3. 在服务器循环的每个周期中,循环遍历服务器的所有队列以查询其作业。

    4. 在队列循环中的每次处理,循环访问其作业,并收集关于由投诉用户提交的作业的标识信息。

  2. 发现有问题的打印作业后,请检查相关属性,了解问题可能是什么。 例如,作业处于错误状态,或者为队列提供服务的打印机在作业可以打印之前是否处于脱机状态?

下面的代码是一系列代码示例。 第一个代码示例展示了循环遍历打印队列的过程。 (上面的步骤 1c)。 myPrintQueues 变量是 PrintQueueCollection 当前打印服务器的对象。

该代码示例首先使用 PrintQueue.Refresh 刷新当前打印队列对象。 这可确保对象的属性准确表示它所表示的物理打印机的状态。 然后,应用程序会通过使用 获取打印队列中当前打印作业的集合。

接下来,应用程序遍历PrintSystemJobInfo集合,并将每个Submitter属性与投诉用户的别名进行比较。 如果匹配,应用程序会将有关作业的标识信息添加到将呈现的字符串中。 在应用程序中, 变量 userNamejobList 已经被初始化。

for each (PrintQueue^ pq in myPrintQueues)
{
   pq->Refresh();
   PrintJobInfoCollection^ jobs = pq->GetPrintJobInfoCollection();
   for each (PrintSystemJobInfo^ job in jobs)
   {
      // Since the user may not be able to articulate which job is problematic,
      // present information about each job the user has submitted.
      if (job->Submitter == userName)
      {
         atLeastOne = true;
         jobList = jobList + "\nServer:" + line;
         jobList = jobList + "\n\tQueue:" + pq->Name;
         jobList = jobList + "\n\tLocation:" + pq->Location;
         jobList = jobList + "\n\t\tJob: " + job->JobName + " ID: " + job->JobIdentifier;
      }
   }
}
foreach (PrintQueue pq in myPrintQueues)
{
    pq.Refresh();
    PrintJobInfoCollection jobs = pq.GetPrintJobInfoCollection();
    foreach (PrintSystemJobInfo job in jobs)
    {
        // Since the user may not be able to articulate which job is problematic,
        // present information about each job the user has submitted.
        if (job.Submitter == userName)
        {
            atLeastOne = true;
            jobList = jobList + "\nServer:" + line;
            jobList = jobList + "\n\tQueue:" + pq.Name;
            jobList = jobList + "\n\tLocation:" + pq.Location;
            jobList = jobList + "\n\t\tJob: " + job.JobName + " ID: " + job.JobIdentifier;
        }
    }// end for each print job
}// end for each print queue
For Each pq As PrintQueue In myPrintQueues
    pq.Refresh()
    Dim jobs As PrintJobInfoCollection = pq.GetPrintJobInfoCollection()
    For Each job As PrintSystemJobInfo In jobs
        ' Since the user may not be able to articulate which job is problematic,
        ' present information about each job the user has submitted.
        If job.Submitter = userName Then
            atLeastOne = True
            jobList = jobList & vbLf & "Server:" & line
            jobList = jobList & vbLf & vbTab & "Queue:" & pq.Name
            jobList = jobList & vbLf & vbTab & "Location:" & pq.Location
            jobList = jobList & vbLf & vbTab & vbTab & "Job: " & job.JobName & " ID: " & job.JobIdentifier
        End If
    Next job ' end for each print job

Next pq ' end for each print queue

下一个代码示例在步骤 2 中继续应用程序。 (见上文。)有问题的作业已被识别,应用程序会提示输入识别该作业的信息。 从此信息中创建 PrintServer对象、PrintQueue对象和PrintSystemJobInfo对象。

此时,应用程序包含对应于检查打印作业状态的两种方式的分支结构:

此示例演示了这两种方法,因此在此之前会提示用户选择要使用的方法。如果用户想要使用 JobStatus 属性的标志,他们会响应“Y”。 有关这两种方法的详细信息,请参阅下文。 最后,应用程序使用一个名为 ReportQueueAndJobAvailability 的方法报告作业是否可以在一天中的这一时间打印。 此方法在 “发现打印作业是否可以在一天中的这个时间进行”中进行讨论。

若要使用属性的 JobStatus 标志检查打印作业状态,请检查每个相关标志,以查看它是否已设置。 要检查一组位标志中是否设置了某个位的标准方法是使用这组标志作为一个操作数,与另一操作数中的该标志本身执行逻辑 AND运算。 由于标志本身只设置了一个位,因此逻辑 AND 的结果最多就是设置了同一位。 若要了解它是否是,只需将逻辑 AND 的结果与标志本身进行比较。 有关详细信息,请参阅PrintJobStatus和运算符(C# 参考)FlagsAttribute

对于设置了位的每个属性,代码会将其报告给控制台屏幕,有时建议采用响应方式。 (如果暂停作业或队列,则调用 的 HandlePausedJob 方法如下所述。

HandlePausedJob 方法使应用程序的用户能够远程恢复暂停的作业。 由于打印队列暂停的原因可能很充分,因此该方法首先提示用户决定是否恢复它。 如果答案为“Y”,则 PrintQueue.Resume 调用该方法。

接下来,系统会提示用户决定是否应恢复作业本身,以防它独立于打印队列暂停。 (比较 PrintQueue.IsPausedPrintSystemJobInfo.IsPaused.)如果答案为“Y”,则 PrintSystemJobInfo.Resume 调用;否则 Cancel 调用。
