Printer events : Corresponding Hook

[gioma 19]

Greetings,
I would need that my program to be able to detect that a print has been launched in the operating system and to which printer.
I was thinking of using HOOKs, like I do for keyboard and mouse events.
I was studying the hooks available on Windows but I still haven't been able to figure out which one can do for me.

Can any of you give me some suggestions? Thank you

Not sure about hooks, but it looks the spooler API has what you need

• DocumentEvent function (Winspool.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Docs
• FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification function (Winspool.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Docs

Sounds like a good start, thanks.
