在任何给定时间，大中型公司都可能会有多台打印机由于夹纸、缺纸或者某种其他异常情况而无法工作。 Microsoft .NET Framework的 APIs 中公开了一组丰富的打印机属性，通过这些属性可以快速调查打印机的状态。
示例
下面是创建这种实用工具的主要步骤。
获取所有打印服务器的列表。
遍历各服务器以查询其打印队列。
在服务器遍历的每个处理过程中，遍历所有服务器的队列，并读取每个可能指示队列当前未工作的属性。
下面的代码由一系列代码段组成。 为简单起见，此示例假设存在一个用 CRLF 分隔的打印服务器列表。 变量 fileOfPrintServers 是该文件的一个 StreamReader 对象。 由于每个服务器名称都在其各自的行上，因此每次调用 ReadLine 时都会获取下一台服务器的名称，并将 StreamReader 的游标移到下一行的开头。
在外部循环中，该代码为最后一台打印服务器创建一个 PrintServer 对象，并指定该应用程序将对最后一台打印服务器具有管理权限。

|---|
如果存在多台服务器，则可以通过使用 PrintServer(String, String[], PrintSystemDesiredAccess) 构造函数来改进性能，这些构造函数仅对您将需要的属性进行初始化。 |
此示例随后使用 GetPrintQueues 来创建一个包含所有服务器队列的集合，并开始遍历它们。 内部循环包含一个与打印机状态的两种检查方法相对应的分支结构：
您可以读取类型为 PrintQueueStatus 的 QueueStatus 属性的标志。
您可以读取每个相关属性，如 IsOutOfPaper 和 IsPaperJammed。
此示例对这两种方法均进行了演示，因此用户在这之前会被询问要使用哪种方法，如果用户希望使用 QueueStatus 属性的标志，则可以回答“y”（是）。 下面详细介绍了这两种方法。
最后，结果将呈现给用户。

Console::ReadLine();
若要使用 QueueStatus 属性的标志来检查打印机状态，可以通过检查每个相关标志来查看它是否已经设置。 如需检查是否在一组位标志中设置了某个位，标准方法是将这组标志作为一个操作数，将需要检查的标志本身作为另一个操作数，对它们执行逻辑“与”运算。 由于该标志本身只设置了一个位，因此逻辑“与”运算的结果是至多设置了同一个位。 若要确定是否设置了该位，只需将逻辑“与”运算的结果与该标志本身进行比较。 有关更多信息，请参见 PrintQueueStatus、& 运算符（C# 参考） 和 FlagsAttribute。
对于每个设置了位的特性，该代码会在最终报告中添加一个将呈现给用户的通知 （下面将讨论在该代码末尾处调用的 ReportAvailabilityAtThisTime 方法）。

创建 ReportAvailabilityAtThisTime 方法的目的在于让您确定队列在当前时间是否可用。
如果 StartTimeOfDay 属性和 UntilTimeOfDay 属性相等，该方法将不执行任何操作；因为在这种情况下，打印机将一直可用。 如果这两个属性不同，则该方法将获取当前时间，当前时间随后将必须转换为自午夜以来的总分钟数，因为 StartTimeOfDay 属性和 UntilTimeOfDay 属性是表示自午夜以来的总分钟数的 Int32 值，而不是 DateTime 对象。 最后，该方法将查看当前的时间是否介于开始时间和截止时间之间。
