Como diagnosticar um trabalho de impressão problemático

Administradores de rede frequentemente recebem reclamações de usuários sobre trabalhos de impressão que não são impressos ou são impressos lentamente. O rico conjunto de propriedades de trabalho de impressão expostas nas APIs do Microsoft .NET Framework fornece um meio para executar um diagnóstico remoto rápido de trabalhos de impressão.

Exemplo

As principais etapas para criar esse tipo de utilitário são as apresentadas a seguir.

  1. Identifique o trabalho de impressão sobre o qual o usuário está reclamando. Frequentemente, os usuários não conseguem fazer isso com precisão. Talvez eles não saibam os nomes dos servidores de impressão ou impressoras. Eles podem descrever a localização da impressora em terminologia diferente da usada na configuração de sua Location propriedade. Portanto, é uma boa ideia gerar uma lista dos trabalhos enviados atualmente pelo usuário. Se houver mais de um, a comunicação entre o usuário e o administrador de sistema de impressão poderá ser usada para identificar o trabalho que está tendo problemas. As subetapas são as seguintes.

    1. Obter uma lista de todos os servidores de impressão.

    2. Executar um loop pelos servidores para consultar suas filas de impressão.

    3. Em cada passagem do loop do servidor, percorra em loop todas as filas do servidor para consultar seus trabalhos

    4. Em cada passo do loop da fila, percorra em loop sobre seus trabalhos e colete informações de identificação sobre aqueles que foram enviados pelo usuário que fez a reclamação.

  2. Quando o trabalho de impressão problemático for identificado, examine as propriedades relevantes para ver qual pode ser o problema. Por exemplo, o trabalho está em estado de erro ou a impressora que atende a fila ficou offline antes que o trabalho fosse impresso?

O código a seguir é uma série de exemplos de código. O primeiro exemplo de código contém o loop pelas filas de impressão. (Passo 1c acima.) A variável myPrintQueues é o PrintQueueCollection objeto do servidor de impressão atual.

O exemplo de código começa atualizando o objeto de fila de impressão atual com PrintQueue.Refresh. Isso garante que as propriedades do objeto representem precisamente o estado da impressora física que ele representa. Em seguida, o aplicativo obtém a coleção de trabalhos de impressão atualmente na fila de impressão usando GetPrintJobInfoCollection.

Em seguida, o aplicativo percorre a PrintSystemJobInfo coleção e compara cada Submitter propriedade com o alias do usuário reclamante. Se forem iguais, o aplicativo adiciona informações de identificação sobre o trabalho à cadeia de caracteres que será apresentada. (As variáveis userName e jobList são inicializadas anteriormente no aplicativo.)

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

O exemplo de código a seguir usa o aplicativo a partir da Etapa 2. (Veja acima). O trabalho problemático foi identificado e o aplicativo solicita as informações que o identificarão. A partir dessas informações, ele cria PrintServerobjetos , PrintQueuee PrintSystemJobInfo .

Nesse ponto, o aplicativo contém uma estrutura de ramificação correspondente às duas maneiras de verificar o status do trabalho da impressora:

Este exemplo demonstra ambos os métodos, portanto, o usuário foi previamente solicitado sobre qual método usar e respondeu com "Y" se quisesse usar os sinalizadores da JobStatus propriedade. Veja abaixo os detalhes dos dois métodos. Por fim, o aplicativo usa um método chamado ReportQueueAndJobAvailability para relatar se o trabalho pode ser impresso a esta hora do dia. Esse método é abordado em Descobrir se um trabalho de impressão pode ser impresso a esta hora do dia.

// When the problematic print job has been identified, enter information about it.
Console::Write("\nEnter the print server hosting the job (including leading slashes \\\\): " + "\n(press Return for the current computer \\\\{0}): ", Environment::MachineName);
String^ pServer = Console::ReadLine();
if (pServer == "")
{
   pServer = "\\\\" + Environment::MachineName;
}
Console::Write("\nEnter the print queue hosting the job: ");
String^ pQueue = Console::ReadLine();
Console::Write("\nEnter the job ID: ");
Int16 jobID = Convert::ToInt16(Console::ReadLine());

// Create objects to represent the server, queue, and print job.
PrintServer^ hostingServer = gcnew PrintServer(pServer, PrintSystemDesiredAccess::AdministrateServer);
PrintQueue^ hostingQueue = gcnew PrintQueue(hostingServer, pQueue, PrintSystemDesiredAccess::AdministratePrinter);
PrintSystemJobInfo^ theJob = hostingQueue->GetJob(jobID);

if (useAttributesResponse == "Y")
{
   TroubleSpotter::SpotTroubleUsingJobAttributes(theJob);
   // TroubleSpotter class is defined in the complete example.

Para verificar o status do trabalho de impressão usando os JobStatus sinalizadores da propriedade, verifique cada sinalizador relevante para ver se ele está definido. O modo padrão para ver se um bit está definido em um conjunto de sinalizadores de bit é realizar uma operação lógica AND com o conjunto de sinalizadores como um operando e o próprio sinalizador como o outro. Uma vez que o próprio sinalizador tem apenas um bit definido, o resultado do AND lógico é que, no máximo, esse mesmo bit é definido. Para saber se ele é ou não, basta comparar o resultado do AND lógico com o sinalizador em si. Para obter mais informações, consulte PrintJobStatus, o operador & (referência C#) e FlagsAttribute.

Para cada atributo cujo bit estiver definido, o código relata isso para a tela do console e, às vezes, sugere uma maneira de responder. (O método HandlePausedJob que é chamado se a fila ou o trabalho estiver em pausa é abordado abaixo.)

O método HandlePausedJob permite que o usuário do aplicativo retome remotamente trabalhos em pausa. Como pode haver um bom motivo para a fila de impressão ter sido colocada em pausa, o método começa solicitando que o usuário decida se deseja retomá-la. Se a resposta for "Y", o PrintQueue.Resume método é chamado.

Em seguida, será solicitado que o decida se o trabalho propriamente dito deve ser retomado, caso ele tenha sido colocado em pausa independentemente da fila de impressão. (Compare PrintQueue.IsPaused e PrintSystemJobInfo.IsPaused.) Se a resposta for "Y", então PrintSystemJobInfo.Resume é chamado, caso contrário Cancel é chamado.
