Is their any way for a windows process to block another process from printing?
Basically we are trying to cut costs in the office and we want to block people from printing their emails. So I was asked if it was possible to write a program to block or cancel any print jobs comming from Outlook.
Can use a solution in any language or API, whatever works.
We have Win XP and Win 7 users.
There really isn’t a good way to do this on Windows.
Besides, this doesn’t seem like a technology problem.
Supply the printer with only one ream of paper per month. Let everyone know that the paper supply is limited.
The obvious work around is that users will bring in their own paper, but that will greatly reduce the operating cost, so it’s not really a problem.
